Mission Statement

ECRE is a pan-European network of non-governmental organisations, concerned with the needs of all individuals seeking refuge and protection within Europe. It draws on the energy, ideas and commitment of an active membership and a strong secretariat.

ECRE promotes the protection and integration of refugees based on the values of human dignity, human rights and an ethic of solidarity. International refugee and human rights law are a key reference point for our analysis.
