Mandate

The Division on Migration and Refugees (DMR) was created at the Directorate General of Human Rights and Rule of Law (DG1) on 1 February 2025 to follow-up on the action by the former Special Representative of the Secretary General on Migration and Refugees. Its mandate includes suggesting assistance and support to member states, particularly through the Network of Focal Points on Migration, seeking, collecting and analysing information on the human rights situation of migrants and refugees, as well as complementing and co-ordinating activities of other relevant Council of Europe bodies and our action with other international partners, notably the UNHCR, IOM, EU, and its specialised agencies, and other national, regional and international stakeholders, including civil society organisations. The DMR represents the Council of Europe in the UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award Selection Committee, as well as in the Consultative Forums of Frontex and of EUAA.

EQPR Training on Afghanistan situation and its impact on the education system

On 10 December 2021, the European Qualifications Passport for Refugees (EQPR) project´s Task Force on Afghanistan organised a webinar to share the first findings and observations to capture the recent developments in the country and provide an analysis of how these changes impact the system of education and the recognition work with the qualifications. More than 100 participants, representatives of different ENIC-NARIC centres, of Higher education institutions but also other organisations relevant in the field participated in the session. The Council of Europe Task Force is composed of experienced representatives from the ENIC-NARIC offices of Germany, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands, the UK, and Education Credential Evaluators from the USA,

Implemented by the Council of Europe since 2017, the European Qualifications Passport for Refugees enables refugees to have their qualifications assessed even in the absence of a full documentation. The EQPR helps refugees to enter further studies or to seek employment.

The national recognition centres in Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Serbia and the United Kingdom are currently actively participating in the EQPR, and other ENIC-NARICs are welcome to join.
