Kvoteflygtninge: Take the responsibility, Denmark. Write under. Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke

Many die, unfortunately, in the attempt

Such is our Denmark It is a vicious spiral Hundreds of thousands of refugees have put their lives at risk to reach Europe and seek safety here

The European Union and the international community is set to one of its biggest tests ever.

Europe and the world can only solve the crisis in the community.

In the european cooperation, we must work for a worthy reception of the persecuted, and we must stand on the goal for our fundamental values: Solidarity, respect for human rights and minorities, transparency and accountability to the conventions we have signed.

And in the UN framework, we must uphold the agreements and conventions, which have guaranteed peace, stability and human rights for the majority of europeans in a lifetime.

And there are also many countries on an ad hoc basis, receive kvoteflygtninge at the request of the UN flygtningeorgan, UNHCR. But Denmark is the first and preliminary only country which, as a permanent UNHCR-samarbejderpartner the resettlement programme, which has suspended its participation.
