It's not often that you can read editorials by undocumented people themselves on the media. In Belgium, the Coordination of Undocumented People penned a letter to political leaders on the biggest French-speaking newspaper. In it, they call on political forces who won the June federal elections to: ⭐ adopt an asylum and migration policy based on reception and solidarity, guaranteeing respect for the dignity and fundamental rights of exiled persons ⭐ reject the stigmatisation of undocumented people and the equation of immigration with crime ⭐ pass a fair regularisation measure that would allow people to participate fully in society and access their rights, based on clear and objective criteria that consider individual situations of vulnerability and social links in Belgium. The letter is a powerful sign of the mobilisation of undocumented people and allies in Belgium. Congratulations to the Coordination of Undocumented People and to Le Soir for giving a platform to one of the most marginalised groups in Europe.

Stand for Human Rights: Question the Unjust Why is the UK government planning to deport immigrants to Rwanda? This move violates the core values of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, including the right to seek asylum, protection from inhumane treatment, and the right to equality. It's time to question these policies and stand up for justice. As global citizens, we must be vigilant and voice our concerns. Let's unite for a fairer world. Stand strong, Stephen Underwood, Global Peacemaker #humanrights #GlobalCitizenship #JusticeForAll #EndDeportation https://lnkd.in/eFKTYFeC...

When the present Government took office, there were just short of 120,000 people with claims for asylum awaiting an initial decision. This huge backlog, created by the previous Government's long refusal to process thousands of asylum claims, continues to harm the people stuck in it as well as inflicting dysfunction and expense at the Home Office. Repairing the damage is a considerable task. If the Government is to achieve that repair it must commit to creating a fair and efficient asylum system, which focuses on deciding all claims according to their merits rather than arbitrary and unlawful prejudices and attempts at deterrence. While the Government has rightly abandoned some of its predecessor's worst excesses (including the dire Rwanda scheme), it is yet to make any clear commitment to operating the UK's asylum system fairly and efficiently. It therefore remains at risk of pursuing the same miserable ambition as its predecessor of attempting to avoid rather than take its asylum responsibilities and thereby replacing one disaster at the Home Office with another. It need not be this way. Adopting five proposals made by Amnesty International UK in the asylum decision-making process would mark a strong step toward a better future: https://lnkd.in/eTqeHSYA
