As a follow up to the meeting organised in Brussels on 21 September 2015 with INGOs working with and for migrants, the President of the Conference of INGOs, in an open letter to the Ministers' Deputies, shares the expert opinions of the INGOs present at the meeting and makes a number of proposals concerning the action that these INGOs are prepared to take.
She asks the member States to have the political courage to find a pan-European response that respects the rights of each individual, irrespective of his or her status, a response that is consistent with the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the European Social Charter.
