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.
