A. Yes, AIUSA opposes the interdiction at sea of persons who are seeking asylum. The asylum determination procedures on US Coast Guard vessels which have interdicted Haitians lack of fundamental safeguards which AI considers necessary for a fair determination procedure. AI has received no information to refute the conclusion that this practice of interdiction obstructs asylum seekers in need of protection.
