European Disability Forum Demands Rights Protection for Disabled Asylum Seekers

European Disability Forum, 10 Oct 2025

The organization demands the strategy be grounded in fundamental rights including the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. They call for binding guidance and minimum standards to ensure accessibility at borders, disability-specific support in reception conditions, and elimination of discriminatory health requirements in visa procedures. They request targeted EU funding for accessibility measures and systematic training of authorities on disability rights.
This would establish systematic protections for their constituency of over 100 million disabled persons.
Member states using disability as visa exclusion criteria would lose administrative discretion over entry.

EuroMed Rights calls for rights-based EU migration strategy

EuroMed Rights / EuroMed Droits, 8 Oct 2025

The organization demands human rights impact assessments for all migration policies, independent monitoring systems, and suspension clauses in agreements with third countries. They urge rejection of safe third country and safe country of origin concepts, expansion of legal pathways, and redirecting border surveillance funds to search and rescue operations.
This would strengthen accountability for EU-funded migration projects and reduce their liability for human rights violations.
Migrants and asylum seekers lose protection from pushbacks, detention, and unsafe returns to dangerous countries.

European lawyers demand priority for legal aid in migration strategy

Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe, 6 Oct 2025

The CCBE demands that the strategy prioritizes access to high-quality legal representation and early legal aid. They call for strict monitoring of legal counselling to ensure it is provided only by independent, qualified professionals.
Professional lawyers would benefit from increased funding for specialized training and more proportionate remuneration rates.
Unqualified advisors and non-independent bodies would be excluded from providing legal counselling under stricter standards.

Missing Children Europe urges stronger safeguards for migrant children

European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children (Missing Children Europe), 9 Oct 2025

MCE requests immediate appointment of trained guardians and mandatory child-specific risk assessments at all stages. They demand that no return decision is made without a comprehensive best interest determination.
These safeguards would reduce child disappearances and improve the effectiveness of protection systems.
National enforcement agencies lose the ability to prioritize rapid returns over individual assessments.
