Defending Human Rights
The Role of the International CommunityDefending Human RightsHuman Rights Watch received no reports of restrictions on the activities of refugee assistance organizations. An active community of nongovernmental organizations worked on refugee issues. More than fifty organizations in the E.U. and applicant states worked together under an effective umbrella organization, the European Council on Refugees and Exiles. In many countries, local chapters and representatives of Amnesty International, the International Helsinki Federation, the Jesuit Refugee Service, Caritas, and the International Federation of Human Rights Leagues were active on asylum issues. The Migration News Sheet, a monthly nongovernmental publication summarizing developments in the asylum and immigration field, was a valuable resource for advocates, academics, and policy makers. |
