    Reforming EU Migration Policies to Address the Refugee Crisis

    About the committee

    Council of Europe The Council of Europe is a pan-European organization dedicated to promoting democracy, human rights, and the rule of law across its 47 member states. Established in 1949, it serves as a forum for addressing pressing societal challenges through dialogue and cooperation, with a focus on upholding the principles enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights. Due to multiplex structural changes in the world, local and socio-political order; the current policies are unable to keep up with the ongoing European Refugee Crisis. The Council of Europe must deliberate on this and adjacent issues; whilst acknowledging all the contributory parameters, in order to come to sound recommendations that may be implemented by the European State.
