Origin - 2016 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 8, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly recognises that the booming population of Africa and other regions is likely to lead to unprecedented migratory pressures which will be aggravated by increasing conflicts over land and water and by desertification; further recognises that these pressures will be beyond any conceivable absorptive capacity by Europe; and therefore calls upon member States of the Council of Europe to assess the scale of the challenge and to devise appropriate responses in consultation with and cooperation with the key countries concerned."
