ETHICAL GUIDELINES

In August 2001, PICUM held a workshop on the theme of ethical dilemmas in providing assistance to undocumented migrants. The discussions during this workshop revealed the need to develop some ethical guidelines for all people who are confronted in their work with undocumented migrants. A second workshop program on this issue was held in March 2002, and a working group was established to prepare  such Guidelines. In October 2002 the General Assembly of PICUM adopted the Guidelines.
