Migration is a fundamental part of human behaviour. Climate change, environmental pollution, natural disasters, violent conflicts, economic insecurity are some of the reasons why people migrate. While inequalities and power structures exacerbate the reasons to leave one’s home, the lines between forced and chosen migration are rarely clear.
Our social democratic vision for the future is a world in which migration is a free choice and mobility is based on the values of human rights and global solidarity. Based on the Global Compacts on Migration and on Refugees, and the Sustainable Development Goals and through close collaboration with the UN Network on Migration, OHCHR, the Treaty Body System, Special Rapporteurs, and civil society we work to strengthen the promotion and protection of human rights of all migrants.
Joint side-event at the 2024 Human Rights Council Social Forum by the Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), Global Policy Forum Europe (GPF), Public Services International (PSI) and the UN Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD).
Reform of the international financial architecture is currently one of the most prominent items on the international political agenda. This side event discussed how we can implement reform proposals in practice and what role the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) can play in this. In preparation for the FfD4 independent researchers and civil society policy experts have drafted the report “Building new foundations. Reimagining the International Financial Architecture”. The report which was launched at this event identifies key reform areas, develops innovative policy proposals and examines how they can be realized in the international policy-making process.
