In an open letter published on Monday, 57 organisations \u2013 describing themselves as \u201cpeople who see and work with the stark consequences of political choices\u201d \u2013 said the package of new laws would \u201cmirror the failed approaches of the past and worsen their consequences\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>They called on EU leaders to consider the far-reaching impact of their decisions. \u201cThere are times when political choices can make a profound difference, for better or for worse, to people\u2019s lives. Today is one such time,\u201d reads the letter, signed by groups including Amnesty International, Save the Children and Caritas Europa. Rather than \u201cmore camps, walls and surveillance,\u201d it lays out an alternative approach to managing migration, calling on leaders to strengthen reception and asylum systems and fairly share the responsibility among European states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need support for \u2013 not restrictions on \u2013 rescuing people at sea. We need more, not less, access to legal aid, asylum, medical and social support for people in need,\u201d it states. \u201cWe need real accountability for border forces that violate our laws. And we need more safe routes for people to move, work and settle in safety and dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After seven years spent attempting to reform migration laws, the EU managed to cobble together majority support earlier this year. The proposed laws, which still need to be approved by the European parliament, could allow member states flexibility when it comes to determining what country is \u201csafe\u201d for migrants deemed to be ineligible for asylum and on what grounds they can be sent to third countries.<\/p>\n<p>As negotiators scramble to hammer out the final text before the current session of the European parliament ends in June, the deal has taken on a harder edge that reflects the rise of nationalist anti-immigrant parties in several EU countries.<\/p>\n<p>The European Network Against Racism argued that the result was a pact that greenlights detention, pushbacks and racial profiling. The pact \u201ctears up people\u2019s rights and makes migration more dangerous than ever\u201d, it said on social media as it published the open letter. The joint condemnation of the proposed migration laws comes less than two weeks after 17 organisations across Europe cautioned that the pact risked opening the door to increased discrimination and racial profiling. The latest letter builds on this, adding that the new laws could normalise the arbitrary use of immigration detention, including for children and families, and could lead to people being returned to countries where they may be at risk of violence, torture and arbitrary imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/dec\/19\/campaigners-call-on-eu-leaders-to-veto-costly-and-cruel-changes-to-migration-law\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/dec\/19\/campaigners-call-on-eu-leaders-to-veto-costly-and-cruel-changes-to-migration-law\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/campaigners-call-on-eu-leaders-to-veto-costly-and-cruel-changes-to-migration-law\/\">Campaigners call on EU leaders to veto \u2018costly and cruel\u2019 changes to migration law<\/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":[516,555,274,2215,3095,2309,2595],"class_list":["post-119697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-change","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu","tag-law","tag-leaders","tag-migration","tag-veto"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119697","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=119697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119697\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
