Policies on irregular Migrants

The insecurity which irregular migrants face on a daily basis because of the unlawfulness of their residence, prompted the European Committee on Migration (CDMG) to assess their situation in Council of Europe member states. The aim of the exercise was to pool and evaluate national experiences and to draw up possible proposals on dealing with irregular migrants and improving cooperation between countries of origin and host countries. Five countries--Armenia, Germany, Greece, Italy and the Russian Federation--volunteered and submitted certain aspects of their national policies on the situation of irregular migrants for evaluation.--Publisher's description.
