ECRE Eastern Europe: Annual Country Reports 2009 on the situation for IDPs, refugees and asylum seeker in
the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation and
Ukraine are available here.
ECRE published its assessment of the European Commission's proposal recasting the Asylum Procedures Directive. ECRE generally welcomes the proposal and acknowledges that it raises the procedural standards and guarantees Member States are required to observe when dealing with asylum applications. However, ECRE regrets that the recast Proposal still allows for the use of the European Safe Third Country concept and the safe country of origin concept, which are at odds with Member States' obligations under international refugee and human rights law.
European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE) is a pan-European network of non-governmental organisations, concerned with the needs of all individuals seeking refuge and protection within Europe.
ECRE promotes the protection and integration of refugees based on the values of human dignity, human rights and an ethic of solidarity. International refugee and human rights law are a key reference point for our analysis.
