Valoramos positivamente que se haya aprobado hoy un Real Decreto que favorece la regularización de más de 500.000 personas migrantes. Esta medida facilita la inclusión e integración socio-laboral de personas que llevan tiempo en España en situación administrativa irregular.

Grateful to Juliana Miranda, from CELS for the UNGA 1C statement on Torture-Free Trade.
This is a human rights issue, and an export control trade issue - at the heart of it though is the prevention of torture - more action is needed from states to end the trade in tools of torture.
