UN report recommends limiting use of policing in migration management
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has published a report on racial justice and equality for people of African descent, which puts forward an agenda to end systemic racism and human rights violations by law enforcement against people of African descent. The report recommends using alternative methods to policing and the use of force, including in relation to migration and border management. The report also stresses the need to address false narratives which associate migration with criminality, and thereby legitimise harsh border policies.
