<p>The UK is monitoring the Government of Pakistan's policy on the deportation of
undocumented migrants, recognising that every country has the sovereign right to manage
their borders. The former Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly, discussed this with Caretaker
Prime Minister Kakar and Caretaker Foreign Minister Jilani and received assurances
towards the safety of Afghans who are eligible for UK resettlement under the ARAP
(Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy) and ACRS (Afghan Citizens Resettlement
Scheme) schemes. We encourage Pakistan to adhere to its international human rights
obligations and provide opportunities for refugees to register for asylum. The UK
has committed £16 million to the International Organization for Migration in Afghanistan
to support undocumented returnees.</p>
