MOSCOW (Sputnik) — US President Donald Trump’s travel ban on refugees and citizens from Muslim-majority countries is not only mean-spirited, but also wasteful of potential resources that can be used in the fight against terrorism, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said Monday.
"The US ban is also mean-spirited, and wastes resources needed for proper counter-terrorism," Zeid was quoted as saying on the UN Human Rights Office's Twitter account.
On Friday, Trump signed an executive order, entitled Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States, which blocks all refugees from entering the United States for 120 days and suspended the entry for citizens from the Muslim-majority countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days.
