Hard facts for a varied audience

The News Sheet provides up-to-date information on developments in immigration and assylum policies and on migration and integration issues, and references to relevant documents of various intergovernmental institutions which, though not often confidential, are nevertheless quite difficult and time-consuming to obtain.

The rather unique character of its information and sources, its ever-conscious recognition of the need to limit coverage to facts, and its commitment to objective reporting have generated interest from a wide and varied group of News Sheet subscribers, including persons of immigrant origin, lawyers, researchers, European judges, ministers and civil servants who deal with immigrants and asylum seekers, and their counterparts in Australia, Canada and the United States.

The contents of the Migration News Sheet are organised under the following headings:

• Migration Policies
• Irregular Migration
• Racism/Discrimination
• Other Issues
• In Brief

Articles under each heading appear in the following order:

• institutions of the European Union
• Council of Europe
• individual countries
