center;"><em>“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter”<br /> – Martin Luther King</em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB">The world is becoming increasingly connected: persons, goods, capitals, services and ideas travel more and more freely. Migration is an asset and an opportunity for both countries of origin and host countries. Diaspora communities contribute to the development of commercial links, business relations, and transfer of knowledge. As such, Diasporas are a very useful social, cultural and economic bridge between countries.</p> <p>The role of diasporas in the management of the migration issues is crucial. Migrants are confronted with various administrative, bureaucratic and financial obstacles, including the erroneous perception of “danger” that has been associated with them. It is essential to “detoxify” this perception of migration and valorise the advantages that migrants can represent for our societies. In order to better benefit from the opportunities that migration offers, countries should work with relevant stakeholders: diasporas and their associations, authorities from the host and origin countries, as well as with NGOs.</p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">The Parliamentary Network on Diaspora Policies of the PACE was founded during a Conference in Lisbon on 7-8 September 2017, and represents the result of almost twenty years’ work of the PACE on diaspora issues. It acts as a platform for establishing and developing political dialogue and co-operation as well as exchanging information and good practices between the parliamentarians who are interested in diaspora related issues, as well as diaspora associations both at national and international levels.</span></span></p> <p>The Network will give a new sense to the term “diaspora”, by bringing people together freely with the humanistic purpose of uniting the intellectual potential to work for a better life in Europe.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB"><img decoding="async" style="width: 550px; height: 367px;" src="/documents/10643/4426593/DiasporaPG.jpg/4cadd6ad-d2a5-4862-9cf9-cba20269d0d1?t=1521565920846" alt="" /><br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The biggest challenge for the Network is to promote the integration of diasporas in the host countries, while allowing them to also preserve links with their countries of origin. Sometimes tensions occur between the countries of origin and host countries, which makes it difficult to achieve true integration. It is important that diasporas also stay loyal to their host country. Only then can they play the role of a bridge between the host and origin countries. Insufficient political, administrative and financial support from both host and origin countries also impedes diaspora involvement and participation in the local society.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The Parliamentary Network on Diaspora Policies was launched as a follow up to the Assembly’s Recommendation 1410 (1999) on “Links between Europeans living abroad and their countries of origin” and Recommendation 1890 (2009) on “Engaging European Diasporas: the need for governmental and intergovernmental responses”, as well as Resolution 1696 (2009) on the same topic and Resolution 2043 (2015) on “Democratic participation for migrant diasporas” which considered that the Assembly “could act as a platform for developing a parliamentary dialogue on diaspora participation by proposing the creation of a parliamentary network on diaspora policies”.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB">The network mainly focuses its work on exchanges and cooperation with members of parliaments, diaspora associations, and state institutions from the countries of origin and host countries of migrants, with the aim of building inclusive societies through the introduction and implementation of national diaspora policies. The main task of the Network is to promote policy and legislative reforms with respect to Diasporas’ roles in both the host society and country of origin.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="portlet-title">Newsletters</span></p> <ul> <li style="text-align: justify;"><a href="/documents/19863/4682599/20180924-NewsletterKyiv-BIL.pdf/6cfa50be-02ef-47e1-af86-366acd4fd8aa">Kyiv</a></li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><a href="/documents/19863/4682599/20180627-Newsletter-Lisbon.pdf/12121ac3-0b44-4733-a24f-fcf1b6fd6486">Lisbon</a></li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><a href="/documents/19863/4682599/20180627-Newsletter-Rabat.pdf/3840dfb0-2340-4f03-86e6-63c1fd2a9286">Rabat</a></li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><a href="/documents/19863/4682599/20180627-Newsletter-Geneva.pdf/339a32c7-5f35-43eb-9886-1a1054ee0a36">Geneva</a></li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="portlet-title">Websites</span></p> <ul> <li style="text-align: justify;">CoE Migration and Refugees</li> <li style="text-align: justify;">IOM Diaspora and Development</li> <li style="text-align: justify;">UN Refugees and Migrants</li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="entry-links"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="aui-wright portlet-column portlet-column-last col-right"> <div id="layout-column_column-2" class="portlet-dropzone portlet-column-content portlet-column-content-last"> <div id="p_p_id_56_INSTANCE_zkwzf88j3Svx_" class="portlet-boundary portlet-boundary_56_ portlet-static portlet-static-end portlet-borderless portlet-journal-content"><span id="p_56_INSTANCE_zkwzf88j3Svx"></span></p> <div class="portlet-body"> <div class="portlet-borderless-container"> <div class="portlet-body"> <div id="article_10154_10643_4446515_1.0" class="journal-content-article"> <div class="wrapuknow"> <h2><small>Coordinator of the Network</small></h2> <p style="text-align: justify;"><img decoding="async" style="width: 120px; height: 80px; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;" src="/documents/10643/4426593/DuarteMarques120x80.jpg/b4446957-6660-40ae-98bc-de5be418f1c9?t=1538658197341" alt="Duarte Marques" /><strong>Duarte Marques</strong> (Portugal, EPP/CD).
