Первый пробный камешек от ооновских левачков по вопросам миграции. Оказывается страны (конечно же имеются в виду высокоразвитые страны) не должны отказывать в убежище мигрантам, если они назвали изменение климата причиной. Причем никакой непосредственной угрозы жизни для требования убежища быть и не может, достаточно сослаться на долгосрочные риски, которые могут возникнуть в будущем из-за потепления климата.
Historic UN Human Rights case opens door to climate change asylum claims
GENEVA (21 January 2020) – In its first ruling on a complaint by an individual seeking asylum from the effects of climate change, the UN Human Rights Committee* has stated that countries may not deport individuals who face climate change-induced conditions that violate the right to life.

the UN Human Rights Committee* has stated that countries may not deport individuals who face climate change-induced conditions that violate the right to life.
The Committee also clarified that individuals seeking asylum status are not required to prove that they would face imminent harm if returned to their countries. The Committee reasoned that climate change-induced harm can occur both through sudden-onset events (such as intense storms and flooding), and slow-onset processes (such as sea level rise, salinization and land degradation). Both sudden-onset events and slow-onset processes can prompt individuals to cross borders to seek protection from climate change-related harm.
