The EU strikes towards additional proscribing asylum. The brand new pact agreed on 20 December, even refuses a proposed age restrict for the detention of irregular arrivals, or household protections. But, refugees proceed to cross unconventional paths as they face wars, political volatility, persecution and the worsening results of local weather disasters.
The so-called ‘heat welcome’ Ukrainian refugees acquired in 2022 was, certainly, a particular case, however the bar had already been very low, researcher Olena Yermakova factors out. Coverage advisor Martin Wager sees low cost political features governing European insurance policies, even in opposition to apparent wants and pursuits.
Refugees play a defining function in European life and politics. Whereas the EU brags about its dedication to upholding human rights, it on the similar time executes repressive measures in opposition to them. This polarity is mirrored in how in another way Ukrainian refugees are handled to asylum seekers arriving from different nations. Whereas the previous got short-term safety standing fleeing Russia’s aggression, the latter should endure ever-stricter procedures as their possibilities of acquiring a protected standing erodes.
On this episode, we focus on these situations of asylum alongside anti-immigration insurance policies, discrimination, and their authorized implications with our visitor audio system.
