Rights Groups Urge End to Outsourced Migration Control in Libya and Tunisia

Original: Stop Outsourcing Migration Control, Uphold the Rights of Migrants and Refugees in Libya & Tunisia

Human Rights Watch is calling on governments to stop outsourcing migration control to Libya and Tunisia, arguing that externalized border policies are exposing migrants and refugees to serious abuses there. The appeal urges states to instead uphold the rights of people on the move, amid ongoing concerns over detentions, exploitation and unsafe conditions faced by migrants in North Africa.

Why now: Continued EU cooperation with Libyan and Tunisian authorities on migration has drawn renewed criticism over human rights abuses against migrants and refugees.
