Description
Summary:The impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on human rights have been particularly severe for migrants around the world. This is due to the level of vulnerability migrants usually face, which increases in a context like this one. This unexpected event demanded an urgent and dynamic response from the special procedures of the United Nations Human Rights Council and UN committees, which they delivered through a series of general declarations and guidelines, as well as communications and observations addressed to specific states. This article describes these responses and analyses the main issues that they address.
