Current campaign

For a Swiss Ratification of the International Convention on

the Protection of the Rights of all Migrants!

During the first ‘Estates General’ body on asylum and migration in Berne (17-18 December 2005), the CETIM’s objective was to draw attention to the existence of international human rights treaties, especially the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (ICRMW). It proposed to organise and to launch a national campaign aiming at the ratification of the ICRMW by Switzerland.

	Comments and Proposals by CETIM on the Reform of the United Nations
	CETIM responds to the report of the UN Secretary-General, Mr Kofi Annan, published last March. Of course, it is widely acknowledged that the UN is in need of reform. Nevertheless, it seems to us that the proposed reforms are inadequate because these proposals do not address any of the UN’s fundamental problems.	06/2005
