Instead, it has &#8220;heightened the risks to migrants and increased their suffering.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> He called for a constructive dialogue between Belarus and Europe. Migrants&#8217; human rights should be at the center of any resulting solution, he added.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Belarus should work closely with international organizations including the United Nations to enhance the protection of the human rights of migrants and asylum-seekers,&#8221; Gonz\u00e1lez Morales said. <\/p>\n<p> The migration crisis at the Belarusian-EU border dates back to the spring of 2021. It escalated on November 8, 2021, when thousands of travelers set up a camp near the Polish border. The Baltic states and Poland accused Belarusian authorities of creating the trouble, while the latter blamed it on the West.<\/p>\n<p>Migration figures had dropped significantly by the time Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but have risen more recently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 16, BPN.
