Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons

“We are currently facing an unprecedented crisis inflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, asylum seekers, irregular migrants and internally displaced persons are twice as vulnerable. As we listen to calls for solidarity with countries affected by the pandemic, we note that this solidarity is too often one-sided. The European institutions and citizens across the continent must work together more than ever to help the most vulnerable, and to persuade those who might doubt it that the fairer and more humane society which the founders of the Council of Europe aspired to is built on this kind of mutual assistance.”
