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.

Committee of Experts on Intercultural Integration of Migrants

From 15 to 17 March 2022, in Rome, the Steering Committee on Anti-discrimination, Diversity and Inclusion (CDADI) elected the members of the Committee of Experts on Intercultural Integration of Migrants. The CDADI elected 10 representatives of member states, 1 representative of regional authorities, and 8 representatives of Intercultural Cities, to be part of the newly established Committee of Experts on the Intercultural Integration of Migrants (ADI-INT).

The ADI-INT will assist the CDADI in steering the Council of Europe’s intergovernmental work on intercultural integration by:

  1. designing a capacity-building programme and tools for migrant integration supporting the implementation of Recommendation CM/Rec(2022)10 on multilevel policies and governance for migrant integration;
  2. carrying out a feasibility study and drafting a possible new legal and/or benchmarking instrument on comprehensive strategies for inclusion, in consultation with other Council of Europe bodies.

The ADI-INT will build on the work previously carried out by the Working Group on Intercultural Integration. Its multilevel composition comprising representatives of all levels of governments will be an asset for the implementation of its Terms of Reference.
