JUA 08/12/2015 Case No. IDN 10/2015 State Reply: None to date Allegations
concerning the arrest, detention, and extradition of Mr. Abdulrahman Khalifa
Salem Binsobeih from Indonesia to the United Arab Emirates.
158. 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.”
