UCLG Retreat 2024

Dialogue, knowledge and action for dignity

Among its seven fundamental principles, the Lampedusa Charter states that “It is not the migratory process that defines the vulnerabilities, but the discriminations and human rights violations that certain groups of the population endure across the journey”. This encompasses the dignified treatment of the people whose migratory endeavors fail or end in tragedy - including deaths, disappearance of migrants and the mourning processes of their families.

In this framework, and under the leadership of the Municipality of Lampedusa, the first Human Mobility Policy Lab will bring together actors from different levels of government and different spheres of civil society, international organizations, academia and associations of migrants and their families to discuss concrete ways to address the challenges linked to the dignified treatment of people and their families in the context of failed migratory journeys.
