The FRA Director warned that the EU is a community of values under threat, during a conference on refugees organised by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and the Holy See. He cited the example of Europe’s inadequate response to the migration crisis with compassion, generosity and wisdom. “Our societies struggle to identify actions that are adequate to the task and that are respectful of the rights of all concerned,” he said. However, “I believe that the Human Rights system we have constructed is resilient and will provide the answers we need,” he added in concluding the conference.
