Regarding the migrant caravan heading north, the Secretary-General said, “the situation needs to be dealt with in line with international law and with full respect for countries’ rights to manage their own borders,” adding that “the states in the region need to cooperate on resolving the situation.”
Speaking today (22 Oct) to reporters in New York, his spokesperson Farhan Haq noted the Secretary-General had been in touch with different leaders over the weekend.
Haq said the Secretary-General has been stressing the need for the leaders to work with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
According the spokesperson, IOM and UNCHR are dealing with different countries on the ground to assist.
He said, “Both UNCHR and IOM are undertaking activities in Mexico. The UNCHR has reinforced its capacity in southern Mexico with the deployment of an emergency team drawn from across Mexico’s operations. The office now has 32 people on the ground in the border Ciudad Hidalgo and Tapachula.”
He said numbers will increase in the coming days to address and ensure adequate protection on the information of the asylum system to members of the caravan as well as legal advice and humanitarian assistance to those who seek asylum.
He noted that UNCHR was present at Ciudad Hidalgo and at the border over the weekend. Haq said, “UNCHR partners provided information on the asylum system to a large number of the people of the caravan who crossed the border irregularly and gather on a makeshift shelter at Ciudad Hidalgo’s town square.”
Meanwhile IOM reported that large numbers of people are arriving in Mexico today and were likely to remain in the country for an extended period.
According to the UN spokesperson, at this time, it is estimated that the caravan comprises some 7,233 persons, many of whom intend to continue the march north.
