ECRE publishes new series Stories of refugees emigrating to Europe  
ECRE publishes new series
November 2006 - "The refugee stories presented here relate the experience of men and women who have sought sanctuary in EU countries over the past fifteen years. They tell of the expectations of people forced to flee their homes for an unknown future, hazardous journeys to reach Europe's shores, the hospitality or hostility they encounter on arrival and the lives they rebuild in Europe." "Each story is unique but is told against the background of the EU's efforts to develop a Common European Asylum System (CEAS). ECRE supports the creation of a CEAS, but only if it leads to good standards of protection that are in line with international and European refugee and human rights law. For this reason, we wish to present these stories to the public, to raise awareness and spark an informed and balanced discussion on the issues."
