"Climate migration is being used to stoke fear & promote securitisation". Important article by @Mixed_Migration Centre's Jane Linekar in Humanitarian Exchange @hpn_hpg on unhelpful, unsubstantiated & alarmist narratives on climate mobility

The right channels"are those that are permitted by states. And many people who need or want to move are denied access to those channels. That's why they use other and 'irregular' routes.

It’s a very sad day when the UN High Commissioner •for• Refugees celebrates a deal that codifies illegal refugee detention and allows states to buy their way out of protection obligations.

After years of deadlock, today's agreement by EU ambassadors is one step closer towards adopting the EU Migration and Asylum Pact — a framework which will hopefully allow the EU to better protect people fleeing conflict and persecution in a way that works for states and refugees.

The next time any UK diplomat refers to their government's support for the "rules-based international system", someone please refer to the quotes in this article.

Stories of African & other people denied access to trains, & turned back at the Polish border are very worrying. #Humanitarian principles require aid be given regardless of race, gender, or creed. Denying access is contrary to human rights laws. #Ukraine
