The EU has blocked the release of files which may outline plans to pressure countries into migration deals by withholding aid. Last summer, the Commission proposed new ways to divide funding for non-EU countries.

Within two years of October 2023, the number of contracts between Israeli companies and public institutions in the EU grew to 112. The total value in that period is estimated at nearly €1.6 billion.
The EU stars swirl around Benjamin Netanyahu's head, with the shadow of the Euro symbol at his back. A text box displays the text from the caption, labeled "news" under the category "collusion and crime"A table indicates the top 10 EU member states by calue of contracts with Israeli companies. The biggest spender is Estonia, with 11 contracts and a total value of 816,460,719 euros. The lowest of the 10 is Croatia, with 7 contracts of a 31,508,263 euro value. The contracts included in this table are those from January 2022 to July 2025.Text asks, what public institutions are involved? It answers: universities, government departments, health bodies, energy providers, police, and militaries.With a gavel in the background, the text declares: European taxpayers should demand that their money not be handed to a genocidal state.
Together, we must demand that public institutions uphold justice.

Public institutions in the EU hold hundreds of contracts with Israeli companies worth almost €2.7 billion. Trade sanctions or boycotts could have a profound impact on Israel’s economy and its ability to wage war. Yet, the EU has taken no meaningful action.

A hand holds a wad of euros in front of an ocean scene. Text reads, "Revealed: EU funding backed an attack on a humanitarian search-and-rescue ship
The so-called Libyan coast guard fired on SOS Méditerranée’s ship in August 2025. IrpiMedia has since traced the money that enabled the episode—back to an EU program with millions in hidden funds." A factsheet outlines the details of the EU program, called Support to Integrated Border and Migration Management in Libya, or SIBMMIL. It explains that this is the program that funded the Houn 664: a vessel of the so-called Libyan coast guard that caused an estimated €194,000 in damage to the humanitarian ship. Ominously, there is no publicly available information on 44% of the total budget—equating to €27.1 million in hidden funds.

The UK Labour Party came to power in July 2024 promising change and an end to 14 years of the right-wing rule seen under the Tories. Instead, it has since entrenched some of the Tories’ worst overreaches—and added some more of its own. Read more and view the timeline here: buff.ly/bwvxM5p
UK prime minister Keir Starmer looms behind a timeline mapping the steady decline of rights under his party since 2024.

We joined 87 other organisations in a statement condemning the EU's proposed Deportation ("Return") Regulation, because increasing surveillance, policing, and racial profiling will only fuel racism and a far-right agenda. The statement: buff.ly/FbcfD1I The @theguardian.com article: buff.ly/Xu3a1sd

A quote from her reads, "Increasing surveillance, policing, and racial profiling will only fuel racism and a far-right agenda—not reduce migration. If accepted, these proposed measures will undermine the most basic of civil liberties to disastrous ends, which is the real threat we should be focused on addressing."

Is it a rights-based solution? A response to the many statements from campaigners? No. The document we obtained shows EU policy-makers want to ressurect an old idea: paying non-EU states to intercept and detain people at sea, before they can reach European shores."

As state powers of repression are globalised, so too must our resistance, advocacy and collaboration. We released our research, Networks of [in]security (NOIS), as a living resource to help us do that. Read more and get in contact: buff.ly/MbWx0na
Quote from State watch Director, Chris Jones, that reads: 
"The power of states to surveil, monitor, harass and repress is being globalised.
This is being done through digital infrastructures by obscure, secretive and technocratic organisations. Meanwhile, people's rights remain trapped by national borders, making it extremely difficult to seek redress and remedy for wrongdoing, or even simple errors."

2/ It is typically less-than-liberal and authoritarian regimes behind this behaviour—but they are far from being the only culprits. For example, no one would be surprised to hear that EU states have used regional watchlisting systems to bar pro-Palestine activists from entering their territory.

According Info Park, an organisation in Belgrade, Serbia, people on the move along the Western Balkan route face a cycle of of detention, transfers, and endless reattempts. The EU's new pact on migration will only worsen these brutal realities.
Above a black print of a barbed fence, a demonstrator holds a placard that says "open the border". Above the image, text reads: the EU migration pact will increase existing harms in Serbia and all along the Western Balkan route. It will mean more cruel tactics of policing and pushbacks, more bureaucracy and digital controls,  and a further closure of civic space."

The Srebrenica massacre remains the only event on European soil since the Holocaust to be formally recognised as genocide. In a tale all too familiar, it unfolded as Europe looked on. Read more in the article by Eliana Nunes: buff.ly/xnolx7p
White text on black says "Learning from the Bosnian genocide" is in front of a field of white headstones at the Srebrenica-Potočari memorial and cemetery. It is surrounded by mountains and a cloudy sky. In front of mountain, a quote says "“The international community could have and should have prevented the war” -Elmina Kulasić.The same image continues onto the next page, with "1992" in large letters appearing behind the mountain. Another quote below it says “I was seven years old when my hometown was demolished”. A black text box below says: Kozarac was attacked in May 1992. A town of only 4,000, it was targetted for its largely Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) population. It began just two days after Bosnia was admitted as a member of the United Nations and just weeks after declaring independence from Yugoslavia. Soldiers blared orders from loudspeakers, demanding the surrender of the town’s residents and promising them safety. But when civilians complied, the shelling continued and killed over 1,000 people.The description continues, covering 1993 to 1995. In 1993, Srebrenica was declared a "safe area" under UN protection. But international protection failed. By the end of the war in 1995, around 100,000 people had been killed in Bosnia—most of them Bosniak civilians. That July, Serb forces overran Srebrenica, killing over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys in 72 hours.
Elmina Kulasić stands smiling, with dark, curly hair and glasses. Text around her says "Today. Asked whether Bosnia has developed a sense of collective guilt and responsibility comparable to post-Holocaust Germany, Elmina Kulasić shakes her head. “We never had a process of acknowledgement that the crimes actually took place.” Today, Elmina works to educate others about the nature of genocide, and supports organisations like Mothers of Srebrenica, founded in 2002. "We know that a society that has gone through a genocide is more prone to it happening again."

The EU’s latest idea is to deport people to countries they have zero connection to. EU member states are talking about changing the “safe third country” rules so they can deport more people—even if it means undermining safeguards. And the Council agrees. Read more: buff.ly/8RuyAP4
Text says "the EU’s latest idea is to deport people to countries they have zero connection to." Around the text are faded and noisy images. One is of a table full of conversing people who appear to be light-skinned and wearing formal attire. A lightbulb floats above them.Black text on a paper background says "EU member states are talking about changing the “safe third country” rules so they can deport more people—even if it means undermining safeguards. And the Council agrees.

This is despite the fact that some of the countries considered “safe” include Tunisia, Egypt, and Morocco—places with ‘well-documented rights abuses and limited protections for both their own citizens and migrants’ according to EuroMedRights."faded and noisy green scissors are about to cut a ribbon, above text that says "this change would mean reducing or deleting the current "connection criteria" which limits where states deport people to. Apparently, member states consider the problem of where to send people to be the biggest administrative hurdle to deporting them. They do not, however, seem to see it as a moral issue, as many others might. "Text states "13 member states want to delete the 'connection criteria' altogether. A map of Europe indicates the countries that want to delete it, with their borders filled in with green, contrasting the lighter shade of others. This includes: Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Cyprus, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia.
