The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is calling on the United States to ensure asylum rights are protected during deportations to third countries. This appeal follows the reactivation of bilateral deportation agreements initiated under the Trump administration with several African nations. UNHCR High Commissioner Filippo Grandi emphasized the principle of *non-refoulement*, which prohibits returning individuals to countries where they face persecution. The agency is concerned that asylum seekers may not have adequate access to fair procedures in these third countries. The renewed deportation policy raises questions about the US’s commitment to international refugee protection standards. UNHCR is seeking assurances that individuals with legitimate asylum claims will be safeguarded throughout the transfer process. The agency’s statement underscores the importance of due process and access to asylum for vulnerable populations.
