This is Mamadou Kouassi, the scriptwriter for 'Io Capitano' who inspired the story and lived through the journey himself, asking on behalf of the whole film crew that MEPs reject this #MigrationPact . ❤️

💡A step forward from 🇪🇸… regularising half a million migrants.

👏Felicidades!

I welcome the adoption of the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum by the European Parliament, a big step forward towards a more effective, shared asylum system.

The Pact must now be implemented upholding the principles of refugee protection: UNHCR stands ready to support.

Ylva Johansson

We are disheartened by the news that the European Parliament has passed an EU #MigrationPact that will bring so much human suffering.

Today and always JRS remains committed to accompany and serve #refugees and migrants, walking with them hand in hand.

The Italian supreme court recently confirmed Libya is not a place of safety & returning people there is a crime.

Yet, Italian authorities repeatedly request NGO ships to coordinate rescues with Libyan Coast Guard, knowing well the risk of pushbacks.

Don’t believe politicians using elections to stigmatize refugees and promise to “get rid of all immigrants”. They are just after your votes.

We can deal effectively with people on the move and respect their rights instead of invoking brutal measures which are wrong and useless.

The latest World Meteorological Organization report confirms 2023 as the warmest year on record, driving global displacement due to extreme weather.

Urgent #ClimateAction needed! Migration can be part of the solution to adapt to the climate impacts.

We are very concerned to see yet another #EU deal to outsource its responsibilities to protect #refugees to other countries. These deals have little to no oversight or accountability and open the doors to #HumanRightsViolations and suffering.
