IOM - UN Migration’s Post

         Hello LinkedIn,  I don't hear anybody, anywhere asking tthe question...where are all these migrants coming from? Why so many, why now? Nothing on such a scale, with this timing happens by accident. Like the media wars, Ukraine and Israel...this migrant invasion was planned for a reason. Who pays and how much when taxpayer monies are allocated to pay and fix all of this? Maybee more than proof we are all over taxed. They never give their own money. My point is all these events are not spontaneous and happen in a vacuum. They are all planned for a reason...why and by whom? Too simple just to ask. ~ https://lnkd.in/e-J3W-kv

The United Nations General Assembly marked Dec. 18 of every year as #InternationalMigrantsDay to appreciate the contributions of migrants and ensure the protection of their rights globally. However, the journey to live the migrant's dream can be a road strewn with corpses. Earlier this year, we looked at how African migrants lost their lives and go missing trekking through the Darien Gap where engineers and explorers have often failed.

👉 Together with 84 organisations we call on all state authorities to respect fundamental human rights, and act with the humanity that all should demonstrate when interacting with their fellow human beings, and especially so in situations of distress. ▪️ Throughout the world, refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants are being treated in cruel and illegal ways. ▪️ Some European states are systematically violating the rights of people attempting to escape from persecution, armed conflict, disasters, and deprivation. At Europe’s borders, such people are confronted with the constant threat of destitution, detention, exploitation, and physical violence. In the worst cases, their lives have been lost, both at sea and on land.     Read more and join here 👇    #StopPushbacksNotPeople

On today’s International Migrants Day, ODIHR calls for greater efforts by countries across the OSCE region to safeguard the human rights of all migrants and ensure they are protected from violence, exploitation and abuse. The skills and experience that migrants bring with them are an enrichment to our societies. #migration #imd2023 #humanrights

On 17 and 30 April, two big events took place: the Red Talks, dedicated to the issue of missing migrants in Africa. These sessions were jointly organised by the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC , the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC and the United Nations Network on Migration, ahead of the Africa consultations for the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration Review. Participants from numerous African Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies joint online. Saving lives and searching for missing migrants is the primary responsibility of States. Transnational cooperation must be enhanced to prevent disappearances, identify the deceased, and support their families. Migrants going missing can't be forgotten. #migration #missingmigrants

New article: "Safe Passage report: the case for safe routes" by Alamara Khwaja Bettum Last week, we at Safe Passage published our Routes to Safety report, which makes recommendations for a new compassionate and competent approach to dangerous journeys across the channel.  Implementing our proposals could disrupt the smuggler’s business model, save lives and uphold the UK’s commitment to protect refugees.   Safe routes work  At Safe Passage, we know that refugees will choose official routes over smugglers where they exist andoperate effectively and efficiently. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, two highly flexible and well-resourced safe routes to the UK were opened – only one Ukrainian made the journey across the Channel. The Ukraine schemes clearly demonstrate how streamlined, well-resourced and flexible safe routes can effectively break... https://lnkd.in/eaDYQc8i

Refugees and migrants continue to face extreme forms of violence, human rights violations and exploitation not just at sea, but also on land routes across the African continent, towards the Mediterranean. 👉 Find out more in our new report with IOM and the Mixed Migration Centre: https://bit.ly/4cRdFlZ
