"Under international human rights law, the principle of non-refoulement
guarantees that no one should be returned to a country where they would
face torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment and
other irreparable harm. This principle applies to all migrants at all
times, irrespective of migration status."
IRAP - Refugee Protections for Afghans
https://refugeerights.org
During the summer of 2021, the International Refugee Assistance Project
(IRAP) engaged four law firms – Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP,
Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, and Simpson
Thacher & Bartlett LLP – to draft brief reports concerning the
conditions in certain countries to which Afghan nationals might flee in
the event that the Taliban resumed control over Afghanistan. These
reports provided information on the refugee protection program, if any,
in the countries of flight; the ability of refugees in those countries
to work, pursue an education, and live freely; and the penalties, if
any, imposed upon individuals living in the countries of flight without
lawful immigration status.
