The shipwreck tragedy of June 14th, 2023 in the international waters off Pylos, Greece, once again underscores the urgent need for the international community to step up action and stamp out organised migration practices which expose people on the move to life-threatening conditions and situations, and to do so in full respect of the dignity and fundamental rights of each and any person involved.

Consequently, the Conference of International Non-Governmental Organisations of the Council of Europe, counts on to resolute and enhanced implementation of commitments jointly made in this regard by the member States of the Council of Europe at their Reykjavik Summit of May 17th, 2023.
