Human rights inquiry
Refugee Council submission: Joint Committee on Human Rights’ inquiry into the treatment of asylum seekers [September 2006]
Whilst we recognise this inquiry is focused on treatment of asylum seekers in the UK, we feel it is important to acknowledge the impact that the UK’s border controls are having on the right to seek asylum itself. Our submission focuses on the human rights of children and young people seeking asylum in the UK, and the human rights issues raised by the experience of asylum seekers with healthcare needs. We endorse the submission of the Inter Agency Partnership in relation to accommodation and support.
