A/HRC/35/23/Add.1 64. Many migrants are deported to Honduras while in transit or on arrival at their country of destination, even those who face serious risks back home. UNHCR reported that 249,618 Hondurans had been deported between 2011 and 2014. 51 In the United Sates alone, 20,309 Hondurans were deported in 201552 and 10,468 unaccompanied migrant children were apprehended in 2016.53 On their return to Honduras, many of the deportees face the same perils they had attempted to elude. As at 2014, 35 returnees had been killed soon after arriving in Honduras.54 The Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons received confirmation from United States officials that criminal activity in their home countries was not considered grounds for individuals to claim asylum. 55 65. The Special Rapporteur was informed about the precarious conditions of detention of Hondurans deportees held in United States migration detention centres and was particularly alarmed at reports of deportees detained in cold cells referred as “iceboxes”. He was also informed that Hondurans were prevented from gaining access to the relevant authorities to process their asylum requests or were deported before they could get a chance to submit them. In total, 80 per cent of Hondurans were placed in expedited removal procedures in which asylum claims were not properly considered. 56 Civil society organizations have also noted the precarious conditions and abusive treatment received by Honduran deportees in Mexican detention centres and the lack of information about asylum procedures offered to migrants victims of violence. 57 Mexican authorities also return migrants in immediate danger. 66. The Special Rapporteur visited the Returnee Migrant Care Centre in San Pedro Sula and was impressed by the commitment of its staff and the quality of the support provided to Hondurans returnees before being transferred to their hometowns. While he encourages the Government to maintain and support this much needed initiative, he warns about the need to establish medium- and long-term measures to support the returnees’ reinsertion in their communities and to guarantee their safety and integrity, especially to those at risk of violence. 67. To respond to this critical situation, in 2013 the Government established the Interinstitutional Commission for the Forced Displacement of Persons, and is currently working on a draft law on migration to regulate the situation of refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons, and a draft law to protect and assist displaced persons and prevent forced displacement. G. Women 68. Women in Honduras suffer high levels of violence, including murder, domestic violence and rape. As noted by the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences, violence against women is widespread and systematic and compounded by a climate of fear in the public and private spheres. 58 A total of 4,013 women were killed between 2005 and 2014, and 478 femicides were registered in 2015. 59 Reports indicate a 263.4 per cent increase in femicides between 2005 (175 cases) and 2013 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 UNHCR, p. 5.
