Abstract: 

             At its 27th sitting held on October 1, 2024, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted a Resolution and Recommendation on key problems concerning migrant smuggling.

While expressing its concern at the lack of consistency in the legislation of member states aimed at combating the smuggling of migrants, PACE today proposed that the Council of Europe draw up an instrument on the smuggling of migrants “which ensures as much consistency as possible in the understanding and interpretation of this crime.”
