Asylum seekers and refugees: sharing responsibilities in
Europe
Recommendation 1973 (2011)1
1. The
Parliamentary Assembly, referring to its
Resolution 1820 (2011) "Asylum seekers and refugees:
sharing responsibilities in Europe", considers that Europe has
to take further measures to ensure that responsibilities for
refugees and asylum seekers are shared fairly in Europe and
that those seeking international protection have access to
fair and efficient systems for the processing of their
claims.
2. The
Assembly therefore invites the Committee of Ministers to:
2.1.
establish a Council of Europe good practice guide in asylum
determination practice and procedure, highlighting the
relevant Council of Europe human rights standards;
2.2.
ensure Council of Europe access and input to any materials
developed by the European Union, for example by the European
Asylum Support Office, to ensure that the interests of all
47 member states of the Council of Europe (and not just the
EU-27) are fully taken into account;
2.3.
provide a framework for providing mutual assistance,
resettlement and relocation of refugees across the 47 member
states of the Council of Europe.
