Borderline Sicily to the European Parliament “In Memory of Alexander Langer”

Last June 3^rd we were invited to the initiative in memory of Alexander Langer organized by the Green Party atthe European Parliament. With us were the friends of The Langer Foundation who awarded Borderline Sicily their prize in 2014. Our intervention was centred on the urgent measures, proposed by the European Commission to contrast the traffic of Human Beings, stressing the necessity of using suitable means.

Human trafficking is, first of all, a humanitarian matter, therefore it must be dealt with means that safeguard and protect human beings.

“Borderline Sicilia Onlus” wins the 2014 Alexander Langer Prize

The Langer Foundation’s Scientific Committee has deliberated to award the 2014 International Alexander Langer Prize to the nonprofit association “Borderline Sicilia Onlus”. The ceremony will take place during the traditional “Euromediterranea” convention in Bolzano, July 3-5.

Borderline Sicilia would like to thank the Langer Foundation for this important award: it strengthens our resolution to work for the protection of human rights, and to monitor Sicily’s current immigration issues, in hope of becoming the bearers of those very principles Alexander Langer embodied.

Our heartfelt thanks go to all voluntary workers, professionals, operators, and associations, who, over the past few years, have offered their precious contribution to the creation of a migration observatory for Sicily.
