In its 2021 Concluding Observations, the Human Rights Committee requested that Botswana provide a follow-up report with information on the steps taken to implement its recommendations contained in paragraphs 22 (liberty and security of persons), 26 (trafficking in persons and forced labour) and 30 (treatment of refugees and asylum seekers and prevention of statelessness). This report focuses on steps that Botswana has taken and on other recent developments related to those recommendations.
