Managing mixed migration flows in focus at Euromed training
07-07-2010
Raising awareness of the issues related to mixed migratory flows is the focus of a training module covering illegal migration, held by the EU-funded Euromed Migration II project in Paris from 6 to 8 July 2010.
An announcement said the objective of the session was to address the key aspects, concepts, trends, legal norms, and practices related to managing mixed migration flows, in all their complexity. It aims at providing a comprehensive picture of the different categories of migrants, relevant norms of international law and procedures applicable and to present the main actors involved: state actors, international organisations, civil society and the migrants themselves.
This training session will enable participants to have an overview of the concept and trends of mixed flows and norms and standards applicable to the issue, as well as of Euro-Mediterranean cooperation on the issue. The workshop also seeks to highlight the human rights dimension of mixed flows and refugee protection, the role of civil society organizations as well as the experiences of MEDA countries and EU member states in the domain.
Euromed Migration II aims at strengthening cooperation in the management of migration so as to build up the Mediterranean Partners' capacity to provide an effective, targeted and comprehensive solution to the various forms of migration. It assists them in creating mechanisms to promote opportunities for legal migration, support for measures to promote the linkage between migration and development and the stepping up of activities to stamp out human trafficking and illegal immigration, and to manage mixed flows.
