UN concerned about Trump travel ban

A group of UN human rights experts have voiced deep concern over US President Donald Trump’s travel ban on Muslim countries. In a statement, the UN experts said the president’s order is discriminatory toward international humanitarian and human rights law. The independent experts also reiterated that the US policy on immigration could lead to people risk being subjected to torture and other cruel, inhumane treatment when they are sent home. Meanwhile, Vatican City’s deputy secretary of state, Archbishop Angelo Becciu says the Roman Catholic Church is worried about Trump’s move and added that Pope Francis insists on the ability to integrate those who arrive in Christian societies and cultures.
