    Activity Report COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE DUNJA MIJATOVIĆ 4TH QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT 2019 1 October to 31 December Presented to the Committee of Ministers and the Parliamentary Assembly Strasbourg, 10 February 2020 CommDH(2020)4 CommDH(2020)4 This report contains a summary of the activities carried out by the Commissioner for Human Rights, Dunja Mijatović, between 1 October and 31 December 2020. 1. Visits and Missions Visit to Greece (Lesvos, Samos, Corinth and Athens) The Commissioner carried out a visit to Greece (Lesvos, Samos, Corinth and Athens) from 26 to 31 October devoted to issues pertaining to the human rights of migrants, including asylum seekers, with a special focus on reception conditions. During her visit, the Commissioner met with the Minister for Citizen Protection, Michalis Chrysochoidis and the Alternate Minister for Migration Policy, Giorgos Koumoutsakos, as well as the Alternate Minister for Foreign Affairs, Miltiadis Varvitsiotis. The Commissioner visited the Moria Reception and Identification Centre in Lesvos, the Vathy Reception and Identification Centre in Samos and a transit camp in Corinth. She also met with the Mayors of Athens, Lesvos and Samos and representatives of civil society and international organisations in Greece. The Commissioner observed a dramatic worsening of the situation of migrants, including asylum seekers, in the Greek Aegean islands since her June 2018 visit to Greece. Appalled by the desperate conditions prevailing in the islands’ camps, which have turned into a struggle for survival, she called on the Greek authorities to take urgent measures to meet the vital needs of all these people and safeguard their human rights.

  • From the Sea to the City!
    E In the world that we want, our Alarm Phone would not exist. Human beings should not have to risk their lives at sea, simply to cross a border and reach a place of safety. They should not have to call an emergency hotline run by activists to make their distress heard, and to be rescued. They should be allowed to move safely and freely. In our current world, however, only the privileged few can move between countries with hardly any restraint, while so many others embark on journeys where it is unclear if they will reach the other side alive. The Alarm Phone still exists – five years after we launched it in 2014. It still exists because the dying in the Mediterranean has not stopped and because thousands continue to ‘burn’ borders Alarm of Phone 5 Years when they exercise their right to cross the sea. In this anniversary brochure, we reflect on our activities and some of the experiences we have made over the past years in our support of migrant travellers on about 2,800 boats in the Mediterranean Sea. Ferries not Frontex! Rescue is not a Crime! Freedom of Movement for All! from the sea to the city! 5 Years of Alarm Phone watch THE MED ALARM PHONE from the sea to the city!

  • The Electoral Persistence of Far-Right Parties in Europe
    THE ELECTORAL PERSISTENCE OF FAR-RIGHT PARTIES IN EUROPE A thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University In partial fulfillment of AS the requirements for the Degree JoR- Ton Master of Arts In Political Science by Anthony Benjamin Avila San Francisco, California May 2017 Copyright by Anthony Avila CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read The Electoral Persistence of Far-Right Parties in Europe by Anthony Benjamin Avila, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts: Political Science at San Francisco State University. Nicole F. Watts,'Ph.D. Professor of Political Science Jame^)Wartel, Ph.D. Professor of Political Science THE ELECTORAL PERSISTENCE OF FAR-RIGHT PARTIES IN EUROPE Anthony Benjamin Avila San Francisco, California 2017 Since the financial crisis of 2008, democratic governments across Europe have seen revitalization in support for far-right political parties. A number of these new parties have managed to achieve electoral success in multiple consecutive elections despite the use of violence by its members and supporters. I argue that the continued electoral support of far-right parties can largely be attributed to the efforts of party activists in establishing electoral connections with its constituency through the provision of essential and meaningful services. I create a unique tripartite explanatory model to account for the electoral persistence of far-right parties. I employ this model to analyze Golden Dawn in Greece and Jobbik in Hungary and demonstrate how the actions of party activists can engender continued political support for even the most extreme far-right parties.
