About
Participants from the OSCE, governments, as well as international and non-governmental organizations discussed the human rights aspects of migration, such as the right to freedom of movement, and touched on the subjects of visa policies, family reunification, asylum and resettlement.
They stressed that the OSCE, with its comprehensive approach to security, its early warning functions and its capacity to assist governments in defining national and regional policies, had great potential to deal with these issues.
