Umoja wa mataifa umekosoa hatua iliyochukuliwa na bunge Danmark kupitisha sheria yenye utata ya inayojaribu kuwazuia wahamiaji kuingia katika taifa hilo.
Sheria hiyo inatoa ruhusa kwa mamlaka ya serikali kutaifisha baadhi ya mali za wahamiaji wapya ili kufidia gharama ya huduma watakazopata.Sheria hiyo pia inalazimisha wakimbizi kusubiri hadi miaka mitatu kabla ya kuleta familia zao nchini nchini Denmark.
Upigaji kura umekamilika, 81 wamepiga kura ya ndio na 27 wamepiga kura ya hapana kukataa muswada, kura moja imeharibika, mswada umekubaliwa na sasa utapelekwa kwa Waziri Mkuu.
Mbali na kuzuiwa kuingia nchini Denmarka sasa wakambizi watakaopenya na kuingia nchini humo sasa ni ruksa kwa serikali kutaifisha mali zao kwa lengo la kufidia gharama za kuwahudumia.
Aidha wakimbizi waliobahatika kuingia hawataruhusiwa kuleta familia hadi miaka mitatu itimie.
Stephane Dujarric ,Msemaji wa Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Ban Ki Moon wamepinga sheria hiyo ambapo amesema wakimbizi wanaokimbia vita na kuhatarisha maisha yao ili kufikia Ulaya, wanapaswa kuhudumiwa kwa moyo wa huruma.

Denmark's parliament passed a package of measures Tuesday to deter refugees from seeking asylum in the Nordic country.
The so-called "jewelry bill," passed by an overwhelming majority, includes delaying family reunifications for three years and confiscating migrants' valuables.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other international organizations have condemned the bill as inconsistent with the European Union policies.
Speaking to reporters in Geneva, Switzerland, UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards said that the bill comes at a time "when the need for solidarity and responsibility-sharing at the EU level really is the first priority."
"The decision to give Danish police the authority to search and confiscate valuables from asylum seekers sends damaging messages in our view, it runs the risk of fueling sentiments of fear and discrimination rather than promoting solidarity with people in need of protection," said Edwards. "On the limited access to family reunification, we just remind people of the point that family unity is a fundamental principle in international law."
The "jewelry bill" is the latest attempt by Denmark's seven-month-old minority center-right government to discourage the migration of people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Denmark took in a record 20,000 refugees last year.
Under the bill, Danish authorities can seize refugee property valued at more than $1,450. Valuables of special emotional value such as wedding rings will be exempt.
Denmark is not the only country targeting refugee possessions. Switzerland has started taking valuables worth over $985, the German state of Baden-Wo -rttemberg secures valuables above $380, while other southern European countries have been reported to follow a similar practice.
