In the draft resolution, after paragraph 4.1, insert the following paragraph:
"recalling Resolution 2299(2019) on pushback policies and practice in Council of Europe member States, refrain from any action leading to pushbacks or collective expulsions, for these acts constitute a violation of rights of international asylum law, the right to asylum, the right to be protected against refoulement and the right to access an asylum procedure;"
Explanatory Note :
Pushback actions not only threaten refugees and migrants' lives, but also constitute a serious violation of the principle of non-refoulement stated in the Geneva Convention. Therefore, it should be referred to in the resolution.
