Council of Europe Action Plan on Protecting Vulnerable Persons in the Context of Migration and Asylum in Europe (2021-2025)

Abstract

Human rights challenges in the field of migration and asylum policies have long been a focus of the Council of Europe and in recent years they have taken on a renewed importance. As the root causes of migration (armed conflicts, instability, demographic and economic development, climate change, etc.) have become increasingly present in Europe’s neighbouring regions, addressing these challenges remains a priority for the Council of Europe.
