His views is that the Forum is happening at a time when human rights face many challenges across the globe, including in Europe. The exchange at the Forum should help us all to find ways of addressing today's challenges in a way which is human and human rights-based. We need to find the right answers to the drama of refugees and migrants arriving in Europe; to the issues of terrorism and counter-terrorism as well as violent extremism of all sorts; and to the impact of existing policies on various minorities and other groups experiencing social exclusion.

Family tracing and family reunification are practical prerequisites to be able to enjoy family life. Before the current migration situation began in 2015, family reunification accounted for a large but decreasing share of legal migration.
