that failure to comply with international legislation has significantly affected vulnerable groups, part of the migratory flows, including children, women, the elderly, victims of torture, persons with disabilities, LGBTI, etc. The entire process should guarantee human dignity and basic rights, avoiding the return to countries where their safety is not guaranteed. In the context of deep social crisis and armed conflicts, the Ombudsman Institution as a guarantor and promoter of human rights and fundamental freedoms, which represent the soles of the values and principles of democracy, rule of law and good governance, plays an important role in conformity with the standards of foreigners in Albania. For this purpose, the Ombudsman Institution in the role of the National Mechanism for Prevention of Torture and in close cooperation with the Agency of the United Nations for Refugees in Tirana (UNHCR), has monitored continuously the Reception Center of Irregular Foreigners in Albania and Asylum Seekers Centre, border crossing points, and has seen closely the points which are deemed possible to build reception or assistance camps for the transit of persons in need of international protection. From inspections at reception and detention centers mentioned above, it is observed that their capacity in space and in financial and human resources is insufficient, not only for cases of massive inflows, but also for cases of gradual increase in the number of asylum seekers or irregular migrants in a short time. Furthermore, from the inspections at border crossing points, as well as the possible points – reception or assistance camps for the transit passing of migrants, also confirmed by sources of the Border Police, it was observed that there are many challenges to be overcome - even in an emergency context, so that they are perceived as functional centers not only for the short-term registration and assistance to persons in need, but also as residential centers which would enable a longer stay of persons in need of international protection in them. From the explanations and predictions made by officers of the Border Police, from information obtained through the media and information from other countries, it is clear that a great number of people enter every day in Greece and from there they depart in order to pass through the Western Balkan countries – potentially including Albania, to certain countries of the European Union. In most cases, they are clearly people in need of international protection and they should be handled as refugees, whether they want to stay in a certain place or not. Consequently, it is necessary to have a regional and European understanding about the humanitarian handling of more than 4 million refugees from that country. We emphasize that their intention to move towards some countries of the EU should not prejudice the handling that should be provided, especially deeming the urgent need for humanitarian aid, but it is precisely this purpose that should be determining the way of designing and building reception or profilizing centers, according to each case. Taking into account that: 1. Albania finds it impossible to build within a short time residential camps where it is assumed that persons in need of international protection will be able to live for a long time. 2. International assistance for this purpose would take time to be effective; 91
