väljasaatmine

Väljasaatmine, a term originating from Estonian, translates to "expulsion" or "deportation" in English. It refers to the formal process by which a state removes a foreign national from its territory. This action is typically taken when an individual has violated the laws or immigration regulations of the host country.

The reasons for väljasaatmine can vary. Common grounds include illegal entry, overstaying a visa, committing criminal offenses, or posing a threat to national security. The process usually involves legal proceedings, where the individual may have the opportunity to present a defense or appeal the decision. However, in cases deemed urgent or related to national security, the process may be expedited.

Väljasaatmine is a complex issue with legal, ethical, and humanitarian dimensions. International law and national legislation govern the rights of individuals facing expulsion, including the right to due process and protection against refoulement, which is the forced return of refugees or asylum seekers to a country where they would face danger. The implementation of väljasaatmine is often carried out by immigration authorities and law enforcement agencies. The affected individuals are typically escorted to the border or transported to their country of origin.
