The International Platform for Cooperation and Migration (PICM / IPCM) wants to make public that

1. The IPCM joins the celebration of International Migrants Day, on December 18, established by the United Nations.

2. The IPCM is deeply concerned about the situation at some points on the external border of the European Union. In particular, we are attentive to the situation on the border between Poland and Belarus, and between Hungary and Serbia. Many migrants are victims of human trafficking networks and political pressure. The situation is truly dramatic.

The IPCM has held its General Assembly in Milano (Italy), on December 17.
