organizations of civil society denounce violations by Senegal the UN Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers
November 23, 2010 (Dakar) - During the consideration of the report of Senegal by the Committee on Migrant Workers of United Nations on 24 and 25 November 2010, the Senegalese non-governmental organizations and international present an alternative report detailing the Senegalese government's responsibility for abuses committed against migrant workers.
The report presents the political, legal and security surrounding the treatment of migrant workers, such as hardening of European migration policies and the outsourcing of European borders, criminalization of immigration and the establishment of a and repressive security policy framework, the significant increase in the use of detention and deportation, and lack of transparency and consultation in the development migration policies in place in Senegal. These recent developments have resulted in serious violations of migrant workers' rights detailed in the report, violations of the right to life, discrimination, abuse, sexual abuse, arbitrary detention, collective expulsion and arbitrary separation of families, arbitrary deprivation of property private law violations to an effective remedy, the right to leave any country, the right to privacy, etc..
organizations of civil society stressed the responsibility that is Senegal for violations against migrant workers Senegal, those in transit through the country, those who try to migrate by sea or by the North African desert, and against workers of Senegalese migrants living abroad. Indeed, the undersigned organizations believe that the Senegalese government can be held partly responsible for violations committed outside of Senegal in particular because of its collaboration with European migration policies that are inconsistent with the provisions of the Convention on Migrant Workers.
The alternative report makes a series of recommendations calling on Senegal to comply fully with the Convention on Migrant Workers. Notably, the undersigned organizations call upon the Government of Senegal and other African governments to refuse to cooperate with European countries in their policies for managing migration flows that generate human rights violations and criminalizing migrants. The organizations are urging all States to stop adopting government policies leading to the violation of rights of migrant workers and their families and thus call for universal ratification of the Convention on Migrant Workers and respect for all the regional instruments and international human rights. This information
is important to communicate it is reliable and shows that human rights are violated everywhere and we must respond and denounce these practices by supporting organizations that impact near the government Sr. Eliane
