Human Rights Bulletin dated to the International Migrants Day

The new issue of the Bulletin focuses on the impact of the war on people in migration. European countries have received millions of refugees from the Russia’s war against Ukraine. The situation is aggravating for people who used to be in a vulnerable position even in peacetime: children, people with disabilities, stateless people, labor migrants, representatives of ethnic minorities, and others.
