Detention of migrants in an irregular situation 2012, para. 30 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | The Special Rapporteur has received reports indicating that migrants in detention, both men, women and children, suffer violence, including sexual violence and abuse. The behaviour of the guards is not always adequately monitored, especially if they are employed by private security companies. Proper instruction and training of the personnel who have authority over migrants in detention is therefore of utmost importance. | Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants | Special Procedures' report |
