Colombia, se questo è un “Paese sicuro”
L’Ue ha incluso il Paese nella lista di quelli che «di solito non generano bisogni di protezione». Ma la violenza e le richieste di asilo sono in aumento e la decisione serve a complicare l’otteniment...

The EU’s quiet shift toward an ‘(un)safe fourth country’ asylum policy
The European Commission has proposed letting member states drop the ‘connection requirement’ from the ‘safe third country’ concept in asylum cases. Gaia Romeo and Frowin Rausis argue this seemingly te...

@gaiaromeo.bsky.social and I also published an article in this Special Issue dealing with the role of human rights norms in the implementation of the EU-Turkey statement. Check directly here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
The power of human rights norms: understanding Greek non-deportations under the EU-Turkey statement
When migrants cannot be deported, the EU often puts the blame on the non-cooperation of countries of migrants’ origin and transit. This article questions this outward-looking focus by deconstructin...

Both surprised and not surprised to see 12 Israeli projects listed as beneficiaries of an advanced ERC grant. Not granting new grants to a country actively committing war crimes (and in doing so offering support and legitimizing it) seems like the lowest bar

Both as a migration scholar and activist, I strongly support the referendum to change the law on Italian citizenship. Vote YES to reduce the residency requirement from 10 to 5 years - a much more reasonable time. Italy belongs to those who choose it!
Instead of promoting integration - for the benefit of all of us as a society- the EU keeps fuelling hatred and criminalising migrants. This proposal is shameful for so many reasons.
European Commission@ec.europa.eu · 2y agoToday, we're proposing to establish a new Common European System for Returns. Complementing the Pact on Migration and Asylum, the new rules will give EU countries the necessary tools to make return more efficient while fully respecting fundamental rights. ↓
The @ec.europa.eu published its proposal on Return Regulation Overall, the Return regulation proposal severely limits procedural safeguards and restricts migrants' rights to appeal against the return decision and detention.
Yesterday I was on LN24 to comment on the migration policy of the new Belgian government. In short, a mix of xenophobic propaganda and worrying measures that will increase social insecurity #Arizona #DeWever #migrationpolicy
