Caring. Migration, Integration and Support to Refugees
The IB follows the Geneva Refugee Convention in its call to grant stronger protection of refugees or asylum seekers in Europe. As a member of the VENRO network, the IB demands that the EU and its member states take charge of the global responsibility and in its consequence approve more immigration to the EU and its member states. People do not leave their homes without a reason. They often fear for their lives due to war or massive internal instabilities in their home countries. In accordance with the Geneva Refugee Convention we demand independent definitions of migration policy and asylum policy.
People, who are forced by necessity to leave their homes, need special protection. As a signatory of the charter of diversity we fight against the discrimination of people based on their race, religion or place of origin. We are critical of the fact that it is hardly possible for refugees without residential status in member states of the EU to lead self-determined lives and participate in society.
In accordance with our mission statement, we demand the right for refugees to develop in freely, to live in a self-determined way, to be integrated into society, to take personal responsibility and to participate actively in the development of society.
The IB opposes the practise of excluding refugees and asylum seekers from broad areas of society. We demand the right for life and dignity for all, the implementation of the right to self-determination and free development of every human being and a social framework which guarantees equal rights to education and work for all refugees enabling their involvement in social and cultural life in the new home country. The detailed description of our demands for dealing with refugees in Germany and Europe are defined in the guidelines of the refugee’s assistance.
