US EditionEU Moves to Loosen Restrictions on Sending Asylum Seekers to Third Countries
- On May 20, the European Union proposed amending laws to allow deportation of rejected asylum seekers to unrelated third countries deemed safe by the EU.
- The amendment follows the 2023 EU migration pact and aims to address growing anti-immigration sentiment and migratory pressure since the 2015 Mediterranean refugee influx.
- The plan includes countries like Egypt and Tunisia, lets member states send applicants to safe third countries without a connection, and removes appeal suspensions during deportation processes.
- EU Commissioner Magnus Brunner described the proposal as an additional measure aimed at enabling member states to handle asylum applications more effectively, while rights organizations caution that it could undermine access to asylum and increase the likelihood of arbitrary detention.
- If approved by the European Parliament and member states, the reform could accelerate returns but faces strong criticism over potential denial of asylum rights and human rights concerns.
