About us
Asylum seekers arrive at the so-called safe destinations exhausted, withered and barely able to move on, their nervous systems have been affected by both what they encountered in their countries of origin and the environments and poor feeding they have gone through during their journey fleeing persecution. Sadly, what they find in the countries of rescue is more less the same, policies built on the hate for asylum seekers. We act urgently to listen to and amplify their voices to be able to find solutions to treat their pains that amount to torture. The definition of victims of torture is provided under Article 14 of the United Nations Convention against Torture. Victims of torture are defined as “persons who have individually or collectively suffered harm, including physical or mental injury, emotional suffering, economic loss or substantial impairment of their fundamental rights, through acts or omissions that constitute violations of the Convention. A person should be considered a victim regardless of whether the perpetrator of the violation is identified, apprehended, prosecuted or convicted, and regardless of any familial or other relationship between the perpetrator and the victim. The term “victim” also includes affected immediate family or dependents of the victim as well as persons who have suffered harm in intervening to assist victims or to prevent victimization.”
We write to expose racial immigration policies embedded within asylum processing structures resulting into emotional torture and mental injuries both in the developed and underdeveloped world. We advocate for changes in asylum policy legislature in countries where reception facilities are no different from dungeons; monitor, and document incarceration and hate crimes, support research work to unveil racial injustice, organize and manage demonstrations, petition institutions and push for consultative status at the UN human rights consultative committee to influence UN’s asylum immigration global policy framework, inform the world on fleeing and immigration, address disinformation, while furthering the well-being of asylum seekers.
The International Asylum Seekers Defenders Committee exposes both individual and state-sanctioned violence among communities of asylum seekers, the cause for people to flee their homes, and influence global policy framework on immigration and country level legal reforms on immigration and asylum within the framework of the UN. We seek to act actively at the international level to de-escalate violent conflicts as we partner with UN and related organizations, alongside participation in peace missions and delivering critical times humanitarian aid to asylum seekers facing destitution. We advocate for fast-tracked case processing of victims of human trafficking and ensure their emotional mental health. Our philosophy is human centered based on the belief in human dignity, the right to equal freedom and peace to everyone.
We aim to collect and publish stories and news about the asylum system inconsistencies, conduct investigative reporting, often conduct interviews with different stakeholders in the same arena and produce a quarterly magazine to diligently strip global autocracies, tyranny, racism, racial injustice, and asylum systems inconsistencies.
