“EU anti-smuggling policies: missing the target?”<\/h2>\n

3:30pm – 4:30pm on the 11th of October<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This session focuses on the latest legal and political developments at the international and EU level in addressing migrant smuggling. NGOs and researchers point out that counter-smuggling policies are often based on limited empirical data; and that efforts to criminalise migrant smuggling can have\u00a0counterproductive<\/a> effects. In particular, research by ReSOMA shows that at least 171 migrants\u2019 rights defenders between 2015 and 2019 have been criminalized. In this session, experts from MPG, CEPS, PICUM, HIAS Greece and the European Commission will discuss the counter-smuggling framework and possible solutions to protect the fundamental rights of migrants and people supporting them.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1898″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\n
