“In the past six weeks, nearly two thousand children have been forcibly separated from their parents”, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Prince Zeid bin Ra’ad Zeid al-Hussein (pictured above) said in his opening speech to the 38th session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland opposing the U.S. Border Security and Immigration Reform Act. Mr. Zeid also said that the American Academy of Pediatrics in the United States called it a cruel practice of “government-sanctioned child abuse” which may cause “irreparable harm” with “lifelong consequences”.
