policy and research

policy positions | research papers | ECRE statements | EU developments | publications | press releases | speeches  

This area contains copies of ECRE's policy and research papers, speeches, observations and press releases.  ECRE's policy work aims to demonstrate that the needs of refugees and the interests of European host states are not mutually exclusive, but can be realised simultaneously through policies which are principled as well as pragmatic. This work ranges from immediate reactions to governmental and intergovernmental policy to longer-term research and discussion projects. It is "action oriented", aiming always to make specific recommendations. It is firmly based on international human rights and refugee law.
