Pakistan condemns Greece's migration policies following shipwreck.

Pakistan and several African nations called for more protections for migrants at the UN Human Rights Council following the shipwreck off the Greek coast that killed at least 82 people. Pakistan, which had 350 of its nationals aboard the ship, criticised the "protection gaps" and called for accountability and responsibility sharing. The UN Special Rapporteur on Migration called on states to end the criminalisation of irregular migrants and find regular pathways for them. The idea of creating a new international investigative body to look at human rights abuses committed against migrants is being discussed at the ongoing council session in Geneva.
