Case Summary: Transfer Funding from the IBM to the FIDH
IBM is the “Support to integrated border and migration management in Libya” (not a company that makes computers—at least not in this context). A lot of it is aid to the Libyan coast guard to prevent migrants from crossing the Mediterranean to get to Italy.
FIDH is (the French acronym for) the International Federation for Human Rights. It’s an NGO (non-governmental organization; i.e., a non-profit charitable group) that advocates for human rights.
Plan is getting rid of the IBM program and donating its funding to FIDH. Since FIDH has nothing to do with EU immigration, this mandate is extra-topical. But if the mandate stays in the round, so much the better for the Negative, because FIDH is a big advocate for abortion rights (they believe abortion is one of the human rights they need to promote). That’s what they’ll spend the money on that we donate to them if they get an Affirmative ballot.
