28/06/2019 | 11:34:14 Thank you very much, President. The norms and the jurisprudence of the ECHR are absolutely clear on this particular issue as to how issues of individuals who are irregular migrants have to be treated. It is clearly stipulated how it has to be done. Pushbacks are forbidden. Collective forms of refoulement are also forbidden. Rights without guarantees - in other words, when guarantees are not there and are not clearly stated in legislation - essentially opens the road to vulnerability and... 27/06/2019 | 11:19:24 Thank you, President. Migrants are vulnerable, but migrant children are much more vulnerable so we need to step up protection measures for these minors.

In the name of our committee, Mr Viorel Riceard BADEA has sought to enter into dialogue with the eight Member States of the Council of Europe that are not States parties to Framework Convention on... 23/01/2019 | 18:40:09 The right to work is a human right that is recognised in our constitutions, for those countries with constitutions. It is also recognised as a right in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is a right because it is a pre-condition for people being able to enjoy their rights.
