📊About 521 000 decisions were issued at first instance in 2020, which exceeded the number of applications for the first time since 2017.
As a result, the backlog of cases was reduced somewhat, falling by more than 74 000 cases at first instance.

#Asylum applications from Venezuelans and Colombians have fallen especially strongly during COVID-19. Not needing a visa to come to Europe, these applicants likely rely on normal travel links – which are now heavily restricted https://t.co/FqPzXneuV2 #Refugees#migration

New study co-authored by @teddy_wilkin & @MCarammia - members of @QuantMig Advisory Board - indicates that adaptive machine learning algorithms in official statistics and non-traditional data sources can effectively forecast asylum-related migration flows.
#COVID19 Partial lockdowns, travel bans, and other preventative health measures continue to reduce the mobility of #asylumseekers in general and the extent to which they are able to reach the EU+ and lodge #asylum applications. Click for @easo #dataviz https://t.co/rhjmWVcQAw
In North and West Africa #conflict events are more likely to occur near one another. In the #Sahel however violence is spilling across borders to previously unaffected regions.
Interesting spatial analysis of @ACLEDINFO data with #ArcGIS by @SWAC_OECD: https://t.co/aRylwcCOob.
Airwars used geolocation data disclosed by the US military to reveal the precise locations of events that caused harm to civilians in the fight against ISIS. Good to see #data used to bring greater transparency in the context of #conflict.
New: Following several years of patient engagement with the US-led Coalition @CJTFOIR in Iraq and Syria, Airwars has obtained the close locations of 99% of all officially confirmed or 'Credible' civilian harm events. It's a major transparency breakthrough. https://t.co/p2KDeb5M4R
Civilians suffered intensely under ISIS’s so-called caliphate, as militants conducted mass killings, enslaved women and children, and used gruesome violence. The U.S. unleashed massive firepower that decimated ISIS. It also killed thousands of civilians.

[NEW] I spent a big part of the past months working on the new @worldbank Sutainable Development Goals Atlas. It just went live: 17 articles on the current state of the world, packed with charts, maps and interactives! https://t.co/oOdNHUehGU #SDGAtlas 1/n
Amazing trove of data visualizations from the 2020 Atlas of the Sustainable Goals by @worldbankdata and @maartenzam. #Scrollytelling at its best, one example: this shifted marimekko chart to show distribution of learning poverty between regions
