The European Commission has reminded Poland of its obligation under EU and international law to provide access to the asylum procedure under all circumstances, effectively disapproving Prime Minister Donald Tusk&#8217;s new strategy to institute a &#8220;temporary territorial suspension of the right to asylum&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Tusk said his plan, which is scheduled to be officially unveiled on Tuesday, was necessary to combat the migration flows instrumentalised by Russia and Belarus, which Poland has experienced since August 2021. Border crossings have increased in recent weeks, without reaching the numbers seen at the peak of the crisis. The prime minister&#8217;s announcement made immediate headlines, coming at a politically fraught time when European governments show increasing boldness in their attempts to curb irregular migration, testing the limits of well-established legal norms. &#8220;It is important and imperative that the Union is protecting the external borders and, in particular, from Russia and Belarus (who are) undermining the security of the EU member states and of the Union as a whole,&#8221; a Commission spokesperson said on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the same time, member states have international and EU obligations, including the obligation to provide access to the asylum procedure.&#8221; Countering hybrid attacks and ensuring asylum rights are not &#8220;mutually exclusive&#8221; tasks, the spokesperson added. The right to asylum has long been recognised under international law, dating back to the 1951 Refugee Convention. It was later included in the EU&#8217;s Charter of Fundamental Rights, which has the same legal weight as the EU treaties.<\/p>\n<p>The right does not ensure the application is automatically accepted: instead, it compels governments to accept asylum claims, analyse them with due diligence and issue a reasoned decision, with the possibility of appeal. International law also establishes the principle of non-refoulement, which forbids authorities from deporting migrants to nations where they could face persecution, torture or any other form of ill-treatment. In his remarks on Saturday, Tusk said he would demand &#8220;recognition in Europe&#8221; for his decision to establish a &#8220;temporary territorial suspension of the right to asylum.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know very well how it is used by Lukashenko, Putin\u2026 by people smugglers, people traffickers, how this right to asylum is used exactly against the essence of the right to asylum,&#8221; he said speaking at a convention of his centrist Civic Platform. Tusk&#8217;s policy echoes the emergency law that Finland introduced in July to fight against instrumentalised migration. If triggered, the law will allow border guards to &#8220;immediately&#8221; remove asylum seekers and refuse access to the asylum procedure. Legal experts and humanitarian organisations have warned the bill legalises pushbacks.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/10\/14\/suspending-the-right-to-asylum-goes-against-eu-law-brussels-tells-warsaw\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/10\/14\/suspending-the-right-to-asylum-goes-against-eu-law-brussels-tells-warsaw\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/suspending-the-right-to-asylum-goes-against-eu-law-brussels-tells-warsaw\/\">Suspending the right to asylum goes against EU law, Brussels tells Warsaw<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[3754,555,10265,16494,16495],"class_list":["post-134628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-asylum","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu-law","tag-goes-against","tag-suspending-the-right"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134628\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
