Praxis at Training on Migration, Discrimination and International Human Rights Law

In the period from 22 to 24 April, the training on migration, discrimination and international human rights law was held within the project “PROACTION - Protection Against Discrimination of Asylum-Seekers and Unaccompanied Child Migrants”, implemented by Group 484 in cooperation with Praxis and International Commission of Jurists.

The goal of the training was that representatives of relevant institutions and non-governmental organizations shall be introduced into the right to adequate housing, health care and education of asylum seekers, unaccompanied child migrants and migrants in detention, and also protection from discrimination of all targeted groups, in accordance with EU law and international human rights law. The lectures at the training were Roisin Pillay and Massimo Frigo from the International Commission of Jurists.

During the first day of the training, the most important provisions of EU acts and international treaties were presented, which were followed by the presentation of the cases from court practice. On the second and the third day of the training, the representatives of civil society organizations divided into working groups were working on the development of indicators for tracking the extent to which the rights of asylum seekers, irregular migrants and unaccompanied child migrants are exercised in the area of housing, health care and education in Serbia. The intention is that the list of indicators helps civil society to assess the current situation and advocate for the highest international standards in the respective areas.

The training contributed to better insight into difficulties we will face while developing a functional system that may respond to all challenges of mixed migrations.
