Comments	This submission will expand and elaborate upon UNHCR’s key positions reflected in our written interventions regarding: • The situation at the Ceuta and Melilla enclaves, in particular the lack of access for asylum applicants from Sub-Saharan Africa to any identification procedures enabling an individual assessment of their situation in the context of summary returns; • The scope and content of the prohibition of collective expulsion and its implications regarding non-refoulement under international refugee and human rights law.
