This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 2013, after lengthy and complex negotiations the EU adopted the recast “asylum package” which represents a significant step forward in the future development of CEAS. In this timely study Velluti provides fresh insights into recent legislative and judicial developments in asylum and through the “lens” of sovereignty she looks at some of the contemporary challenges faced by the EU protection regime, with a particular focus on asylum-seekers’ rights. The volume assesses whether the EU provides an adequate framework for protecting those seeking international protection from the opposing perspectives of effectiveness and fairness. It shows that, despite the newly adopted “second-generation” legislative acts which include changes aimed at ensuring a stronger level of protection for asylum-seekers, the reform process at European level does not adequately ensure an equal standard of protection across all Member States. Through a comparative analysis of selected ECtHR and ECJ asylum cases the book also examines the constitutional relationship between the two European Courts and how it impacts on the human rights of asylum-seekers and on the future of EU asylum law. Ultimately, the book shows that real progress in the development of the human rights dimension of CEAS will be achieved largely through the European and domestic courts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sidorenko analyses and evaluates the state of affairs of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS). The conclusions of the European Council meeting of Tampere are taken as a 'measuring instrument' to assess the current developments of the CEAS. The implementation in practice of the EU asylum legislation is also evaluated. For this purpose, the implications of the CEAS at a national level in an EU Member State are analysed. Slovakia, a new Member State, was chosen as an example due to its geographical location at the EU external border and the high number of asylum applicants present in this country. By examining EU and national asylum law against the background of international law (the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees), a well-balanced critique of the CEAS is offered which provides views and expectations concerning its future direction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking asylum in the European Union (EU) today is as complex as the EU asylum system itself: the different forms of protection that exist do not remain easily accessible and are sometimes not tailored to the specific protection needs of asylum-seekers. The aim of this volume is to provide critical analyses of selected problems that scholars and policy-makers will have to address in the ‘second phase’ of the Common European Asylum System. A broad range of issues are examined relating to access to and qualification for international protection and the further problems raised by this amended set of asylum instruments which continue to impede asylum-seekers from benefiting from effective protection in EU Member States. With a foreword by Professor Hélène Lambert.

Book excerpt: This book fills a significant lacuna in our understanding of the refugee crisis by analyzing the dynamics that lie behind fifteen years of asylum policies in the European Union. It sheds light on why cooperation has led to reinforced refugee protection on paper but has failed to provide it in practice. Offering innovative empirical, theoretical and methodological research on this crucial topic, it argues that the different asylum systems and priorities of the various Member States explain the EU's lack of initiative in responding to this humanitarian emergency. The author demonstrates that the strong regulators of North-Western Europe have used their powerful bargaining positions to shape EU asylum policies decisively, which has allowed them to impose their will on Member States in South-Eastern Europe. These latter countries, having barely made a mark on EU policies, are now facing significant difficulties in implementing them. The EU will only identify potential solutions to the crisis, the author concludes, when it takes these disparities into account and establishes a functioning common refugee policy. This novel work will appeal to students and scholars of politics, immigration and asylum in the EU.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to the Common European Asylum System (CEAS), its background, its law and policy documents as well as its current state and future direction. The CEAS comprises the European Union’s legislation and policy on asylum. Its objective is to attain similar sets of procedures and protection for asylum seekers and refugees in the EU Member States. To assess the current developments of the CEAS, the author took the conclusions of the European Council meeting of Tampere as a yardstick. The implementation of the EU’s asylum legislation in practice was also evaluated. For that purpose the implication of the CEAS at the national level had to be analyzed in at least one of the EU Member States. Slovakia, a new Member State, was chosen as an example because of its geographical position at the external border of the EU and the high number of asylum applicants within its borders. The author analyzes asylum law at two levels: EU law and national law against the background of international law (the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees). The Hague Programme, other policy instruments and the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe are also dealt with from an asylum perspective. Finally, a well-balanced critique of the CEAS is given, providing views and expectations concerning its future direction. This book is important for all those who deal with asylum matters, such as practitioners, parliamentarians and NGOs. It serves as a reference for further discussions and studies in the context of the EU, and it will also be useful as a reference work for further EU enlargement and the development of the asylum system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The child asylum seeker poses unique challenges for reception and refugee status determination systems, not least because the child is entitled to have his or her rights as a child respected as a matter of international and regional human rights law. In the last decade the European Union has increasingly engaged with children’s rights, with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty in December 2009, and a new Article 3(3) of the Treaty on European Union that commits the Union to promoting the ‘protection of the rights of the child.’ This book addresses the question of whether the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) complies with the rights of the child. It contrasts the normative standards of international child rights law with the treatment of child asylum seekers and refugees in the CEAS. Ciara Smyth identifies the attributes of the rights of the child that are most relevant to the asylum context and systematically examines whether and to what extent those attributes are reflected in the CEAS legislation. The book goes on to assess whether the CEAS instruments direct Member States to comply with the rights of the child, offering a comprehensive examination of the place of the child within European asylum law and policy. The book will be of great use and interest to scholars and students of international law, immigration and children’s rights studies.
