The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of Indonesia has not replied to the present communication, thereby failing to cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13. 159. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Special 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 by participating in the return of Mr. Binosobeih to the United Arab Emirates, a place where he is at risk of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, the Government of Indonesia has violated its obligation under the principle of non-refoulement as codified, inter alia, in articles 1, 2, 3 and 16 of the Convention against Torture (CAT). 160. The Special 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 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention against Torture. The Rapporteur further draws the Government’s attention to article 3 of the CAT, 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. In this context, as paragraph 9 of General Comment No. 20 on the prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, 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 Resolution A/RES/65/206 of the General Assembly which urges States “not to expel, return (“refouler”), extradite or in another way transfer a person to another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that the person would be in 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 principle of non-refoulement is an inherent part of the overall absolute and imperative nature of the prohibition on torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.” (A/59/324, para. 28) 32
