美国将数千人驱逐出境至数十个国家的做法正在“引发一连串人权侵犯”,增加了酷刑、奴役和贩运人口等虐待行为的风险,独立联合国专家周一(9月28日)发出警告。自2025年1月美国总统唐纳德·特朗普就职以来,华盛顿一直在与发展中国家达成协议,接收那些无合法依据被遣返回原籍国的移民。
US deportations of thousands of people to dozens of countries are "triggering a cascade of human rights violations," hiking the risk of abuses like torture, slavery and trafficking, independent UN experts warned Monday, September 28. Since United States President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, Washington has beeng deals with developing countries to take migrants who cannot legally be sent home.
20多名专家,包括联合国移民权利特别报告员和反恐怖主义中保护人权和基本自由特别报告员,警告称,此类协议“正在增加酷刑和虐待以及强迫失踪的风险”。他们还警告称,这些协议“正在世界各地违反习惯法不推回原则,这些国家正在签署协议,接受从美国遣返的成机的移民和难民”。
More than 20 experts, including the UN special rapporteurs on the rights of migrants and on protecting rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism, warned such agreements were "increasing risks of torture and ill-treatment and enforced disappearance." They were also "breaching the customary law principle of non-pushback in countries around the world that areg agreements to accept planeloads of migrants and refugees removed from the US," they cautioned.
专家表示,美国已与35个以上国家签署了此类协议,包括布隆迪、中非共和国、刚果民主共和国、利比亚和南苏丹。他们称,迄今已有至少2.3万名第三国国民被驱逐出境。
The experts said the US had signed such agreements with more than 35 countries, including Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Libya and South Sudan. They said at least 23,000 third-country nationals had been deported so far.
上周,非营利组织“禁忌故事”和一个国际记者联盟的调查显示,到8月底,被驱逐人数已超过2.5万。
Last week, an investigation by the non-profit group Forbidden Stories and a consortium of international journalists determined the number was already above 25,000 people by the end of August.
专家警告称,被驱逐者被送往“与其毫无关联的国家或地区”,这可能会加剧最初迫使他们逃往美国的伤害。“其他人被送往可能面临进一步暴力或歧视的地方,歧视理由包括性别、性取向、性别认同或人权倡导。”这些由联合国人权理事会授权、不代表联合国发言的独立专家强调,受影响者包括处于移民程序各阶段的寻求庇护者和移民。他们警告称,这些安排为一系列侵权行为敞开了大门,包括任意拘留、奴役和贩运人口。
The experts warned that the deportees were being sent "to countries or territories with which they have no ties," which could compound harms that pushed them to flee to the US in the first place. "Others are sent to places where they risk further violence or discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or human rights advocacy." The independent experts, who are mandated by the UN Human Rights Council and do not speak on behalf of the United Nations, highlighted that those impacted included asylum seekers and migrants at various stages of their immigration process. They warned the arrangements opened the door to a wide range of violations, including arbitrary detention, slavery and trafficking.
“面临最严重风险的是儿童、妇女、残疾人、贩运受害者、LGBT人群、人权捍卫者、无国籍人士以及其他处于极度脆弱境况中的人,”他们说。“对于处于特别脆弱境况的移民,后果可能是致命的。”
"At gravest risk are children, women, persons with disabilities, victims of trafficking, LGBT persons, human rights defenders, stateless persons and other people in extremely vulnerable situations," they said. "For migrants in situations of particular vulnerability, the consequences can be deadly."
