They will continue engaging with the authorities to ensure full compliance with the absolute prohibition of refoulement under international human rights and refugee law, they said. <br /><br />Endorsing the statement were Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment Nils Melzer; Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights while countering terrorism Fionnuala Ní Aoláin; Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders Mary Lawler; and Special Rapporteur on minority issues, Fernand de Varennes RP.<br /><br />Special Rapporteurs and independent experts are appointed by the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a specific human rights theme or a country situation. The positions are honorary and the experts are not paid for their work.<br /><br />https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/12/1108152?utm_source=UN+News+-+Newsletter&utm_campaign=4a2c53d559-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2021_12_17_01_30&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_fdbf1af606-4a2c53d559-106908221Marian Rucciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104215453386195003noreply@blogger.com
