Serious concern is expressed about the push back policy implemented against irregular migrants entering territorial waters. Particular concern is expressed regarding their health and personal safety whilst at sea. Additional concern is expressed at the push back policy in instances where some may be asylum seekers leaving a country where they may face violence, persecution, torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment or other serious human rights violations.
