UN Human Rights Committee (HRC)

The Human Rights Committee is the body of independent experts that monitors implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights by its State parties.

States must report initially one year after acceding to the Covenant and then whenever the Committee requests (usually every four years). The Committee examines each report and addresses its concerns and recommendations to the State party in the form of "concluding observations. Website: www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrc/

B.B. v. Sweden (Communication No. 3069/2015) The Committee considered that the State party failed to adequately assess the author’s real, personal and foreseeable risk of returning to Afghanistan, in particular taking into account his father’s alleged threats of revenge and his trauma as a result of parental abuse. Accordingly, the Committee considers that the State party failed to give due consideration to the consequences of the author’s personal situation in Afghanistan and concludes that his removal to Afghanistan by the State party would constitute a violation of articles 6 and 7 of the Covenant. 30 April 2021 \| Judicial Body: UN Human Rights Committee (HRC) \| Document type: Case Law \| Topic(s): Deportation / Forcible return - Human rights law \| Countries: Afghanistan - Sweden
