Information received concerning allegations of racial discrimination in Louisiana, specifically land use and zoning decisions that have classified the land as suitable for industrial facilities in the areas populated by African American communities. We have been informed of racial discrimination in relation to the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment in Louisiana; namely, certain Parishes within the State of Louisiana are allegedly adopting and implementing zoning practices that unfairly discriminate against, and disproportionately affect, the African American communities in the area. Information that construction of hazardous facilities by Wolverine and Petroplex International has been blocked by the St James Parish’s Council in the Third District, with a majority Anglo/White population, is a sign of such discriminatory practices and is therefore of serious concern.

Information received concerning the threat of forced evictions of 14 Isan minority members (9 women, 5 men), who are also land-right defenders, from their lands and homes in the Sab Wai village, situated in the Sai Thong National Park, under forest conservation policies and legislation. The eviction orders have been issued in the context of the Government’s climate change mitigation action without the provision of alternative accommodation and productive land, nor adequate compensation. Allegedly, the national strategy to address the adverse effects of climate change pursues “false solutions” that are resulting in practice in the criminalization and impoverishment of poor small-scale farmers who depend on forests for their livelihoods, while the need to reform the energy sector is neglected.Alleged victims: 1 More details... |

Información recibida en relación con el presunto uso excesivo y letal de la fuerza contra migrantes, incluidos refugiados y solicitantes de asilo, de ascendencia africana, en Melilla que resultó en la muerte de al menos 37 personas migrantes y en la lesión de otras decenas al intentar cruzar la frontera entre Marruecos y España. Además, nos preocupan seriamente los informes recibidos sobre los entierros masivos de los muertos ocurridos durante estos incidentes, que pueden causar un daño irreversible a las víctimas y a sus familias. Se alega que este incidente se enmarcaría en una serie de casos anteriormente señalados de uso excesivo de la fuerza hacia personas migrantes en la frontera hispano-marroquí, supuestamente basados en la discriminación racial y que con frecuencia darían lugar a violaciones del derecho a la vida y del principio no derogable de non-refoulement ( ESP 3/2021).Alleged victims: 37 More details... |

Informations reçues concernant des allégations d’usage excessif et létal de la force à l’encontre de migrants d’ascendance africaine, notamment des réfugiés et des requérants d’asile, à Melilla, qui a provoqué la mort d'au moins 37 migrants et blessé des dizaines d'autres alors qu'ils traversaient la frontière entre le Maroc et l'Espagne. En outre, nous sommes gravement préoccupés par les rapports faisant état de l'enterrement collectif des personnes tuées lors de ces incidents, ce qui risque de causer un préjudice irréversible aux victimes et à leurs familles. Cet incident s'inscrirait dans le cadre de cas déjà signalés de recours excessif à la force à l'encontre de migrants à la frontière hispano-marocaine, qui seraient fondés sur la discrimination raciale et entraîneraient souvent des violations du droit à la vie et du principe non dérogeable de non-refoulement (MAR 3/2021).Alleged victims: 37 More details... |

Information received concerning a registration and verification exercise in Al-Hol and Roj camps located in North-East Syria where your nationals, primarily women and children, are currently deprived of their liberty. In these makeshift locked camps made up of unstable tent-like structures which collapse in strong winds or flood with rain or sewage, hygiene is almost non-existent: limited drinking water is often contaminated, latrines are overflowing, mounds of garbage litter the grounds, and illnesses including viral infections are rampant. Food, water, health care and essential non-food supplies are provided by under-resourced humanitarian groups and organisations. According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone. In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp. Alleged victims: 700 More details... | |

According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone. In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp. Alleged victims: 700 More details... |

Informations reçues concernant une opération d'enregistrement et de vérification dans les camps d'Al-Hol et de Roj situés dans le nord-est de la Syrie où vos ressortissants, principalement des femmes et des enfants, sont actuellement privés de liberté. Dans ces camps de fortune fermés, constitués de structures vétustes qui s'effondrent sous l'effet de vents violents ou qui sont inondées par la pluie ou les eaux usées, les conditions sanitaires sont déplorables: l'eau potable est souvent contaminée, les latrines débordent, des monticules d'ordures jonchent le sol, et les maladies, y compris les infections virales, y sévissent. La nourriture, l'eau, les soins de santé et les produits non alimentaires essentiels sont fournis par des groupes et des organisations humanitaires aux ressources insuffisantes. Selon le Croissant rouge kurde, au moins 517 personnes, dont 371 enfants, seraient mortes en 2019, dont beaucoup de maladies évitables, rien que dans le camp d'Al-Hol. En août 2020, selon UNICEF, huit enfants de moins de cinq ans sont morts dans ce camp en moins d'une semaine, dont quatre à cause de complications liées à la malnutrition et les autres à cause d'une déshydratation due à la diarrhée, à une insuffisance cardiaque, à une hémorragie interne et à une hypoglycémie. Le Covid-19 a accru ces difficultés, en réduisant le nombre d’employés opérant dans le camp.Alleged victims: 700 More details... |

Informations reçues concernant une opération d'enregistrement et de vérification dans les camps d'Al-Hol et de Roj situés dans le nord-est de la Syrie où vos ressortissants, principalement des femmes et des enfants, sont actuellement privés de liberté. Dans ces camps de fortune fermés, constitués de structures vétustes qui s'effondrent sous l'effet de vents violents ou qui sont inondées par la pluie ou les eaux usées, les conditions sanitaires sont déplorables: l'eau potable est souvent contaminée, les latrines débordent, des monticules d'ordures jonchent le sol, et les maladies, y compris les infections virales, y sévissent. La nourriture, l'eau, les soins de santé et les produits non alimentaires essentiels sont fournis par des groupes et des organisations humanitaires aux ressources insuffisantes. Selon le Croissant rouge kurde, au moins 517 personnes, dont 371 enfants, seraient mortes en 2019, dont beaucoup de maladies évitables, rien que dans le camp d'Al-Hol. En août 2020, selon UNICEF, huit enfants de moins de cinq ans sont morts dans ce camp en moins d'une semaine, dont quatre à cause de complications liées à la malnutrition et les autres à cause d'une déshydratation due à la diarrhée, à une insuffisance cardiaque, à une hémorragie interne et à une hypoglycémie. Le Covid-19 a accru ces difficultés, en réduisant le nombre d’employés opérant dans le camp.Alleged victims: 700 More details... |

Alleged negative human rights impacts stemming from the order to ban three humanitarian aid organizations from supporting unregistered Rohingya asylum-seekers, refugees and migrants in and around unofficial camps in the Cox’s Bazar district in south-eastern Bangladesh. According to information received, Médecins Sans Frontières, Action Contre la Faim and Muslim Aid UK received letters on 2 August 2012 from the NGO Affairs Bureau attached to the Office of the Prime Minister, asking them to cease their operations in the Cox’s Bazar district (except in the two official camps, housing some 30,000 Rohingya, run by the Government and supported by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other partners).

Alleged difficulties and obstacles to full voter participation and voting rights particularly for those belonging to minority groups. According to the information received, since 2011, several U.S. States have enacted a broad array of voting restrictions and allegedly discriminatory laws, or have otherwise impeded democratic political participation.
