UN rights chief voices legal concerns on US travel bans

The U.N. human rights chief said Thursday that U.S. President Donald Trump's new travel bans on 12 countries raised "concerns" under international law.

"The broad and sweeping nature of the new travel ban raises concerns from the perspective of international law, including the principle of non-discrimination and of the necessity and proportionality of the measures deployed to meet the security concerns stated," High Commissioner Volker Turk said in a statement.
