EU-Turkey Deal on Asylum
The prospect of a ‘deal’ between the European Union and Turkey on refugees and migrants in the Eastern Mediterranean has received much political attention. NGOs were quick to castigate the EU-Turkey refugee deal for falling foul of the EU’s own legal standards and for being an anti-humanitarian solution. Daniel Thym presents a different perspective by highlighting the conceptual value of an agreement which can be compatible with European and international rules on safe third countries on the Verfassungsblog and the EU Immigration and Asylum Law and Policy Blog of the Odysseus Network (in Englisch). Die Gedanken wurden in Beiträgen in der Süddeutschen Zeitung sowie auf Zeit Online aufgegriffen. Lesen Sie auch das Interview mit Zeit Online über die Beteiligungsrechte des Deutschen Bundestags.
