I discussed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) with a senior member of India's Ministry of External Affairs on 25 February, while in Geneva for the UN Human Right Council. We continue to closely monitor developments over the CAA and related protests, and we will continue to raise any concerns with the Government of India.
