This International Migrants’ Day, the GDP’s Senior Researcher, Mariette Grange, participated in a France Culture live debate exploring Europe’s response to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. She joined Gérard-François Dumont, Professor at the Paris-Sarbonne University, and Emmanuel Blanchard, President of Migreurop, to discuss the history of the convention and to examine why it has so far not been ratified by any European state. It can be difficult for European countries “to announce measures to protect migrants since migrants are often presented as a threat,” she said. Listen to the full debate here (available in French).
