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.

Back Migrant integration via sport platform

Migrant integration via sport platform

In July 2017, the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) launched a migrant integration via sport platform. The platform will facilitate the sharing of expertise and good practices between relevant stakeholders, at international, national and local level, such as government authorities, the sports movement and NGOs. Its aim is to provide its users with useful and practical information; it will include otherwise isolated projects and facilitate their promotion.

The initiative for the platform was taken at EPAS’s last annual conference, which was held in Vienna in June 2016 and which focused on “Newly arrived migrants and their integration via sport”.
