"This report pieces together a year of European, national and local news issues on irregular migration to foster a better understanding of the main concerns of human rights of undocumented migrants as well as the multifaceted ways in which civil society throughout Europe is responding to this situation of social exclusion. It is based on a review of events reported in PICUM’s [Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants] newsletter during the year 2009." (Quoted from paper)
