A/HRC/31/57/Add.1 576. En l’absence d’information prouvant le contraire, le Rapporteur conclut qu’il y a de la substance quant aux allégations présentées dans la communication initiale, réitérées cidessus. En soumettant M. X à diverses violences policières lors de son interrogatoire, ainsi qu’à un examen anal sous la contrainte afin de déterminer son passif sexuel, pratique condamnée comme traitement inhumain et dégradant par l’ONU, le gouvernement du de la Tunisie a échoué à garantir l’intégrité physique et psychique de M.X. Le gouvernement du Tchad a failli à se conformer à l’interdiction absolue de tout acte de torture et autres peines ou traitements cruels, inhumains ou dégradants, comme codifié, entre autre, dans la Convention contre la torture et autres peines ou traitements cruels, inhumains ou dégradants (CCT). Turkey JUA 19/12/2014 Case No. TUR 4/2014 State Reply: 07/04/2015 Allegation concerning the disappearance, arbitrary detention, and refoulement of Mr. X, a Libyan national, to Libya, a country where he risks being subjected to torture and other forms of illtreatment. 577. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Turkey for its reply, dated 7 April 2015, to the present communication. 578. The Rapporteur takes note of the information provided by the Government that Mr. X was using fake identification papers to enter Turkey and subsequently, following the relevant procedure according to the provisions of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection, was deported to Libya, his country of nationality. The Rapporteur however finds that the Government, in its reply, does not sufficiently address the concerns raised in the initial communication, which prompts him to infer that the Government fails to fully and expeditiously cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13. 579. In this context, the Rapporteur reminds the Government of its obligation to protect the right to physical and mental integrity of all persons, regardless of immigration status, under the UDHR and the Convention against Torture. The Rapporteur would like to draw the Government’s attention to article 3 of the Convention against Torture, which provides that no State party shall expel, return (“refouler”) or extradite a person to another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that the person would be in danger of being subjected to torture. The Rapporteur further notes that paragraph 9 of General Comment No. 20 of the Human Rights Committee states that State parties must not expose individuals to the danger of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment upon return to another country by way of extradition, expulsion or refoulement. The Special Rapporteur also draws the attention of the Government to paragraph 16 of the Resolution A/RES/65/206 of the UN General Assembly which urges States “not to expel, return (“refouler”), extradite or in another way transfer a person to another States where there are substantial grounds for believing that the person would be danger of being subjected to torture, and recognizes that diplomatic assurances, where used, do not release States from their obligation under international human rights, humanitarian and refugee law, in particular the principle of non-refoulement.” The prohibition of refoulement in Art. 3 CAT is absolute and recognizes no exception; it is also not conditioned on the behavior of the person to be returned. His manner of entry into Turkey, therefore, is irrelevant. 580. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, available via the link above, and is therefore of the view that the Government of Turkey, by deporting Mr. X to Libya, a country where he risked being subjected to torture and other forms of ill-treatment, 97
