WORKING GROUP MIGRATION AND TORTURE
Submission by the World Organization Against Torture in the cases:
This intervention also draws on the privileged position of OMCT, as the main coordinator of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) engaging with the UN Committee Against Torture (UNCAT). The views expressed are therefore based on a review of successive reports from States parties and CSOs alternative reports, the examination of individual communications, and monitoring of developments before the Committee. Our knowledge of the UN CAT jurisprudence and Concluding Observations put us in a position to share with the European Court of Human Rights the recent updates, discussions and reports shared by CSOs with on the Hotspots approach in receiving and identifying migrants in Europe.
