United Nation Special Rapporteur on Human Rights tells members of Parliament's home affairs portfolio committee there is a ‘general lack of data’ when it came to the human rights of migrants
The United Nation Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, Jorge Bustamante, has told members of Parliament's home affairs portfolio committee there is a ‘general lack of data’ when it came to the human rights of migrants.

Bustamante points out that, “The fact that there are so many undocumented immigrants in South Africa already, makes South Africa behind the realities of international migration.”

He is of the view that this is something that is very much in contrast with what he calls ‘the fine, exemplary level of the Constitution of South Africa’.
