The new EU Pact on Migration and Asylum will exacerbate existing problems in Europe\u2019s handling of illegal immigration instead of fixing them, according to a group of \u201cconcerned human rights defenders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of human and migrant rights NGOs have signed a letter addressed to the European Commission, the EU Council, the EU Parliament and the Spanish presidency which expressed their concerns over the new legislation, saying that it \u201cwill mirror the failed approaches of the past and worsen their consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The European Union\u2019s new EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, a set of five interlinked pieces of legislation which promises to reform the bloc\u2019s migration policy, has reached its final stretch. The pact, which was first presented in September 2020 by the European Commission, aims to establish consistent rules for all member states and coordinated responses to cope with the arrival of asylum seekers.<\/p>\n<p>The most controversial piece of the new proposed legislation is the Crisis Regulation, which outlines exceptional rules which will only apply if a member state is under massive migratory pressure. In this case, the legislation will allow said member states to apply tougher measures, including extending the detention period of rejected applicants from 12 to 20 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>According to human and migrant rights advocates, the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, if adopted in its current format, will result in \u201can ill-functioning, costly and cruel system that falls apart on implementation and leaves critical issues unaddressed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NGOs &#8211; which include Amnesty International, Save the Children, ActionAid International and European Lawyers for Democracy and Human Rights (ELDH) among many others &#8211; said that the new legislation will \u201cnormalise the arbitrary use of immigration detention, including for children and families, increase racial profiling, use \u2018crisis\u2019 procedures to enable pushbacks, and return individuals to so-called \u2018safe third countries\u2019 where they are at risk of violence, torture, and arbitrary imprisonment.\u201d\u00a0Some EU member countries have already been accused of both illegal pushbacks, as in the case of Greece, as well as trying to return individuals to so-called \u2018safe third countries\u2019 which are, in fact, not safe at all, as in the case of Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2023\/12\/18\/an-ill-functioning-costly-and-cruel-system-ngos-condemn-eus-new-legislation-on-migration\">Euronews<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/an-ill-functioning-costly-and-cruel-system-ngos-condemn-eus-new-legislation-on-migration\/\">An ill-functioning, costly and cruel system\u2019: NGOs condemn EU\u2019s new legislation on migration<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,274,12690,12691,1330],"class_list":["post-119675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu","tag-ill-function","tag-legsilation","tag-migrant"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119675\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
