1. The need for a politically- independent commission to oversee the

treatment of refugees – similar to the High Commission in Europe.
Specifically, this Commission shall:
 Oversee the effective and accountable implementation of refugee
best practices across the continent
 Be responsible for effective multilateral and regional
communications with its counterparts in Europe
 Be funded proportionately by contributing nations and by
European States

2. The building of immigration information centres monitored by the High

Commission, or another appropriate body.
These immigration centres will
 Be reviewed by the High Commission and the AU every 3 years, or
any other appropriate timeframe, with an expiry clause if it
becomes null, defunct or otherwise ineffective
 Provide incentives for potential economic migrants to stay in
Africa. This is to alleviate burdens on European asylum intake and
to tackle the human trafficking network
 More support services to be provided for political refugees so they
can make informed decisions on whether to settle in Europe or
Africa
 To protect procedural and human rights of political refugees
 Have the ability to process asylum claims and provide safety for
individuals facing imminent threat of persecution
 Attain funding from UNHCR, EU, AU and contributing governments

3. The development of capacity building and developmental aid to tackle the

root causes of asylum
In the medium-long term, funding should be given by European
nations for including, but not limited to:
 Capacity-building: such as infrastructure, technical support and
education to prevent sectarian and ethnic violence
 Education to create a unique African identity that transcends
ethnic and sectarian violence; possibly noting past examples of
Pan-African universities such that mutual understanding is
achieved.
