PRO ASYL estimates the attack on Iraq as war of aggression contrary to international law and thus a sensational break of international law. „Club-law breaks international law“, commented Mr. Guenter Burkhardt, Managing Director of PRO ASYL
PRO ASYL appeals to the heads of the governments of the European states, starting immediately concrete measures at their today’s summit in favour of the protection of Iraqi refugees.
“ The neighboring states of Iraq have to open and keep open their boundaries for refugees. A generous financial and humanitarian assistance of the EU states is required.
“ Germany and the of other EU states must be ready to receive refugees.
“ Iraqi refugees who are in Germany already must be safe:
The Federal Home Minister must instruct the Federal Commissioner for Asylum Matters to withdraw proceedings against the recognition of foreign refugees immediately.
Refused refugees need a safe resicence status…
PRO ASYL calls refugee assistant groups, participating in protests against the war and make public demands for a coordinated reception of refugees and a better refugee protection.
