Submission to the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances

Our submission to the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances documents a pattern of serious human rights violations affecting refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants in Malawi between 2022 and 2025. Drawing on verified cases, the report details incidents of secret detention, enforced disappearances, unlawful deportations, and alleged collusion between state security actors and human trafficking networks. It highlights systemic failures to uphold legal safeguards, including access to justice, due process, and protection from refoulement, and concludes with targeted recommendations to the Government of Malawi to ensure accountability, strengthen legal protections, and prevent further abuses.
