@ihrf - Today's session at #HRC53 focuses on a critical issue: the independence of judges and lawyers. Ensuring the independence and integrity of these essential pillars of justice is a critical aspect for protecting human rights worldwide. #HumanRights #RuleOfLaw #Justice

The Human Rights Council will also shed light on two crucial issues: the rights of migrants and the prevention of extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. #HumanRights #migrantrights #accountability #justice

home is the mouth of a shark
you only run for the border
when you see the whole city running as well

https://migrantrights.ca/take-action/nostca/

✨️ Background:

Refugees and other migrants were already dying crossing via Roxham Road because the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) and other immigration laws made it impossible to travel safely.

Now, with STCA expanded, both the US and Canada have legislated a policy of turning away migrants. Any refugee crossing over will be able to be deported without due process within the first 14 days of arrival.

This will force refugees to take even more dangerous routes and cause even more suffering and death.

Prime Minister Trudeau says Canada welcomes migrants, even as he is slamming the door shut and putting migrants in danger.

"We need Prime Minister Trudeau to make good on his December 2021 promise to ensure permanent resident status for migrant workers, students and undocumented people."

The recent story of human trafficking of migrant labourers in Ontario highlights why this needs to happen. They grow your food and work in care homes and clean your buildings and without Status, they are much too vulnerable to exploitation.

Democracy Now: "Over 100 unaccompanied migrant children, mostly from Central America, describe grueling and often dangerous working conditions, including having to use heavy machinery, being subjected to long hours and late-night shifts at facilities that manufacture products for major brands and retailers, such as Hearthside Food Solutions, the makers of #Cheerios, #FruitOfTheLoom, #WholeFoods, #Target, #Walmart, #JCrew, #FritoLay and #BenAndJerrys." https://www.democracynow.org/2023/2/28/nyt_investigation_forced_migrant_child_labor #news #MigrantRights #Immigration #Migration #ChildLabor #Labor
