Discussing the European Refugee ‘Crisis’ and the UK’s Responsibilities.
We had a very well attended fringe meeting in Bournemouth on this important issue - helped and sustained by the great Dorset High Tea, kindly provided by Liberal Democrat Voice. There are over 65 million forcibly displaced persons worldwide, 22 million of whom are refugees who have left their country of origin. Over half of refugees are children. Nearly 90% of refugees currently reside in states bordering conflict zones in the global south. A relatively minimal amount have sought and been granted safety in western European states. This insightful and fascinating fringe event explored and analysed the European response to refugee flows and the UK's involvement in that response and their policies towards refugees.
