Service tweet: Some ask why it’s controversial if countries want to decide who they accept.
Well, there’s human rights & right to asylum. If you have an approved reason to stay, EU countries can’t say: No, not you because of your religion/skin color
That’s discrimination/racism

Migration drama now at EU leaders’ summit!
Hungary and Poland block conclusions on migration, say they cannot agree unless Polish lines are included. They demand lots of controversial things, e.g. countries should be able “to decide who they accept on their territory.”

The EU + UK are going full-throttle ahead with reforms to beef up their borders against immigration – turning a deaf ear to UN experts' advice on basic human rights. w/@mi_langrand @GenevaSolutions

The world's top human rights watchdog @UNHumanRights has got its hands full, but chief @volker_turk told me $$ is in the red even as needs soar. 'I'm amazed' at how countries splurge on failing banks, arms – but not on 'people.'👀 for @genevasolutions

As the Black Sea grain deal's fate hangs in the balance, concerns are growing that global hunger will worsen if Moscow walks.
But humanitarians on the crisis’ deadliest fronts have a message: the deal’s spoils aren’t reaching the world’s hungriest🧵1/genevasolutions.news/peace-h…
5/EU+UN have repeatedly claimed the deal has mostly benefited developing countries, but fail to mention that China, the deal's single largest shopper, is still considered a developing economy, just like Turkey.
6/ While keeping more countries from falling into crisis is vital, humanitarians said leaders must look beyond trade tweaks if they want to turn the tide on catastrophic hunger levels @MSF_Suisse @ifrc @ACF_France @FIANista for @GenevaSolutions
