Независимые эксперты ООН сегодня выразили обеспокоенность по поводу роли британских авиакомпаний и властных структур, регулирующих деятельность воздушного транспорта, в содействии незаконному выдворению мигрантов в Руанду. Просителей убежища высылают в соответствии с соглашением между правительствами Соединенного Королевства и Руанды, а также законопроектом «Безопасность Руанды».
«Даже если соглашение между Великобританией и Руандой и законопроект “Безопасность Руанды” будут одобрены, авиакомпании и авиационные регулирующие органы, содействуя высылке в Руанду, могут быть замешаны в нарушении прав человека, защищенных международным правом, и постановлений суда», – заявили эксперты.
Они подчеркнули, что высылка просителей убежища в Руанду или любую другую страну, где им может грозить выдворение, нарушает право на свободу от пыток или другого жестокого, бесчеловечного или унижающего достоинство обращения.
В ноябре 2023 года Верховный суд Великобритании постановил, что высылка в Руанду нарушает третью статью Европейской конвенции о правах человека, которая запрещает пытки или бесчеловечное или унижающее достоинство обращение и наказание.
«Если авиакомпании и авиационные органы приводят в исполнение решения государства, нарушающие права человека, они должны нести ответственность за свое поведение», – считают эксперты.
«Как подчеркивается в Руководящих принципах ООН по предпринимательской деятельности в аспекте прав человека, авиационные регулирующие органы, международные организации и деловые круги обязаны уважать права человека», – отмечают они.

“Even if the agreement between the UK and Rwanda and the ‘Rwanda Security’ bill are approved, airlines and aviation regulatory bodies, by facilitating deportations to Rwanda, may be complicit in violating human rights protected by international law and court rulings,” experts said. They emphasized that deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda or any other country where they may face expulsion violates the right to freedom from torture or other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. In November 2023, the UK Supreme Court ruled that deportation to Rwanda violates the third article of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits torture or inhuman or degrading treatment and punishment. “If airlines and aviation bodies implement a state’s decisions that violate human rights, they must bear responsibility.”
Even if the agreement between the UK and Rwanda and the “Rwanda Security” bill are approved, can airlines and aviation regulatory bodies be implicated in violating human rights protected by international law and court decisions?
