CMS - Centar za mirovne studije

New migration and asylum policies of European Union, portrayed as new beginnings, are actually an attempt to deepen and legalize practices of human rights violations.

Today, Thursday, July 23th 2020, the Centre for Peace Studies filed one more criminal complaint to the State Attorney's Office in Zagreb against the unknown perpetrators due to well-founded suspicion that at the end of May they tortured, humiliated and pushed back 16 refugees from the territory of the Republic of Croatia to Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Civil initiative Info Kolpa, a key member of the Border Violence Monitoring Network, are sharing here the landmark judgement issued on 16th July 2020 by the Slovenian Administrative Court. The findings prove that the national police force carried out an illegal collective expulsion of a member of a persecuted English-speaking minority from Cameroon who wanted to apply for asylum in Slovenia.

Center for Peace Studies, together with the other partners from the European Union project "STIRE:SUPPORTING THE INTEGRATION OF THE RESETTLED", published the Community guide for volunteering, where old and new members of the society can read more about volunteering in Croatia. 

The Centre for Peace Studies (CMS) has launched a campaign called #ovdježivimo (#welivehere) within Refugee Weeks in Croatia to share the stories of refugees who have found their new home in Croatia about their integration in the new environment.
