USA and UN Raise Concern over India's CAA | Citizenship Amendment Act faces Global Pressure
The United States government and the United Nations have both expressed concerns regarding India’s Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 (CAA). The UN has characterized the legislation as “fundamentally discriminatory in nature” and believes it violates India’s international human rights obligations1. Meanwhile, the US State Department is closely monitoring the implementation of the CAA, emphasizing the importance of religious freedom and equal treatment under the law for all communities1. The Indian government maintains that the CAA is not anti-Muslim and aims to assist minorities facing persecution in neighboring Muslim-majority countries
