The Special Rapporteur expresses his deep appreciation to the Government of Greece for the full cooperation extended by the authorities during the course of the mission. He recognizes the challenges faced by the Government regarding the high numbers of irregular migrants and refugees entering the country every day. He believes the Government wants to change the current practice of systematic detention into a reformed system that is in accordance with international human rights and humanitarian law. 81. There is a humanitarian crisis facing new arrivals into Greece, detained in overcrowded and poor conditions amounting to inhuman and degrading treatment; particularly vulnerable are pregnant women, single women with small children, and unaccompanied minors. Most have no access to legal assistance or interpretation and medical attention is extremely limited or unavailable. 19
