migreurop seminar, Cecina 2008

The project of creating a « European Borders Observatory » aims at fostering non-governmental information on the situation of migrants at the borders, at denouncing violations of rights committed there, at promoting those rights, and thus improving the consideration for fundamental rights in the immigration policies of both transit and host countries.

The meeting will provide the opportunity for presenting the project and for drawing attention to the following geographical zones in view of the annual publication of the « Report on Human Rights at the Borders » :

The border between Greece and Turkey, with an account by Salinia Stroux of the Diktio association (Greece) and .... of HCA/RLAP (TURKEY)
