Abstract
The Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) is a civil society organisation (CSO) active in Brussels. It was founded in 2000 by a small number of activists from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. PICUM aims to promote the human rights of undocumented migrants within Europe. This chapter traces the formation of PICUM as well as its evolvement from a small and peripheral CSO to an established one, which enjoys the recognition of other CSOs as well as EU institutions.
