  • il y a 10 ans
We accompanied Nils Muižnieks, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, on his 5-day visit to Turkey, Bulgaria and Germany on the Syrian refugee crisis. He comment the documentary himself and urge European countries to step up their efforts in providing protection to the more than one million Syrian refugees in Europe. "Turkey sets an example to Europe in the way it provides help to more than two hundred thousand refugees in the camps. Germany, Sweden and Armenia have also taken positive steps, but all other European countries are failing to meet the challenges arising from the biggest  refugee crisis in Europe in decades".
The Commissioner recommends in particular that European countries increase the intake of resettled Syrian refugees, give them protection, stop pushing them back, keep their borders open and improve reception conditions.
He also calls on Member States to suspend returns of asylum seekers to Bulgaria given the inadequare conditions they face there.
