Greek Council for Refugees
Από Greece Wiki
The Greek Council for Refugees (GCR) is a Greek, Non Governmental Organization, founded in 1989 to support refugees and asylum seekers in Greece. Through various psychosocial and legal services, it helps them integrate harmoniously in Greece.
Since its establishment in 1989 to 31.12.2005 GCR has responded to approximately 40,000 cases. GCR is the only Greek Non Governmental Organization that deals exclusively with refugees who live in Greece. The only authority responsible for the examination of the asylum request and its grant is the Ministry of Public Order. GCR none the less offers its mainly legal aid to all people who require access to the asylum seeking procedure, closely monitors the –mainly-vulnerable cases, intervenes legally where it is considered necessary, but also works with the governmental authorities for the better servicing of the refugee group.
