The Human Rights and Democracy Forum and Exeter Law School were delighted to host Mr Julian Pahlke, member of the German Bundestag affiliated to Buendnis 90/Die Gruenen and member for the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) for a discussion about the fate of missing migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. Listen to Mr Pahlke’s presentation (c. 25 minutes) reflecting on his Report.
As indicated in Resolution 2569 arising out his Report, PACE ‘considers that human dignity should be ensured to all persons in life and in death, and that the obligation in law to treat the deceased with dignity should extend to situations where international humanitarian law is not applicable.’ (point 4).
