The investigator, Chaloka Beyani, was speaking after a U.N. fact-finding mission presented a report saying crimes against humanity were carried out against migrants in detention centres. "Although we're not saying that the EU and its member states have committed these crimes. The criticism of the EU echoes that from the U.N. human rights chief and from Human Rights Watch and other rights groups in previous years. "The violations and abuses investigated by the mission were connected primarily to the consolidation of power and wealth by militias and other state-affiliated groups," the report said. The report will be presented to the U.N. Human Rights Council later this week.
