Tackling the root causes of migration
On 25 October, the Subcommittee on Human Rights, in association with the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, will hold a hearing on tackling the root causes of migration, the externalisation of the EU's migration policy and the treatment of refugees and migrants in partner countries in North Africa.
Upholding the values of respect for human rights and international law in the EU external and extraterritorial actions and cooperation in the area of migration has been a priority of the European Parliament for many years. In April 2023, Parliament approved its position on the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. Members will discuss with experts concrete ways to support an inclusive vision of human rights into the EU approach on migration.
