- Pakistan has ordered the deportation or expulsion of 1.73 million Afghan nationals, including illegal immigrants, amid allegations of Afghan involvement in suicide bombings. The UN human rights experts are calling on Pakistan to refrain from deporting these Afghan nationals and to uphold the principle of non-refoulement.
- Concerns have been raised over the treatment of Afghans living in Pakistan, including reports of arrests, exploitation, and undignified treatment. The lack of domestic asylum laws and procedures does not excuse Pakistan from its obligations under international human rights and customary law.
- Afghanistan denies Pakistan's accusations that it is using its soil to train militants and plan attacks. The large influx of Afghan refugees into Pakistan has strained resources, leading to the deportation measures.
