Website: Migration and Human Rights

In accordance with its mission to uphold and promote human rights, the Council of Europe has, for several years, been working to define a common policy in response to the challenges thrown up by migratory movements.

The issues connected with migratory movements and migrants require a cross-cutting approach involving all the Council of Europe's bodies: Parliamentary Assembly, Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of Europe and Conference of International Non-Governmental Organisations, as well as the representatives of governments, who meet to prepare and co-ordinate their work.

Among the main themes dealt with by the Council of Europe are:
- Irregular migrants
- Inter-community relations and integration
- Migration management
- Human Migrants rights
- Asylum seekers/ Refugees/IDPs
