Depuis 1993, UNITED surveille les conséquences mortelles des politiques migratoires européennes et de la construction de la forteresse Europe. Depuis 30 ans, elle a compilé, dans sa « Liste UNITED des décès de réfugiés« , plus de 52’760 décès pouvant être attribués aux «politiques migratoires de la forteresse Europe»: militarisation des frontières, lois sur l’asile, politiques de détention et déportations. Des milliers d’autres ne sont jamais retrouvés.
Durant ces 30 années, plus de 52 760 décès peuvent être attribués aux « politiques migratoires de la forteresse Europe » : militarisation des frontières, lois sur l’asile, politiques de détention et déportations. Des milliers d’autres ne sont jamais retrouvés.
Avec sa campagne, UNITED vise à attirer l’attention sur le rôle de nos sociétés dans la protection de celles et ceux qui fuient la guerre, la persécution, la pauvreté ou les catastrophes naturelles et met en lumière les graves failles de nos systèmes d’asile et d’immigration qui mettent à mal la dignité humaine. Que ce soit sur le chemin de la Forteresse Europe, dans les camps de détention ou d’identification, lors de la déportation ou une fois rapatriés, de nombreux réfugiés et migrants meurent.
Au fil des années, de nombreux militants, chercheurs, journalistes et artistes ont largement utilisé la «Liste UNITED des réfugiés décédés» pour sensibiliser davantage l’opinion publique européenne par le biais de leur propre travail et projets.
La liste a été imprimée sous forme de supplément de 60 pages par le journal The Guardian et par plusieurs journaux nationaux dans plusieurs autres pays.
Beaucoup d’autres ont également exposé et utilisé la liste UNITED des réfugiés décédés : comme le MoMa de New York ; la capitale culturelle européenne de Leeuwarden ; la Biennale de la photo de Thessalonique ; des militants lors des sessions du Parlement européen ; des groupes de base dans toute l’Europe lors d’actions locales, de stations de radio publiques, etc.
