EU leaders describe increasing entries of migrants though Belarusian and Russian borders as a ‘hybrid threat’, but the expression is criticised by some organisations seeking greater adherence to international legal obligations.
Right to asylum should not be considered as a ‘value’ but rather a principle of international law, Olivia Sundberg, migration expert from Amnesty International told Euronews in an interview featured in Radio Schuman today.Yesterday, the European Commission presented a communication focusing on measures against countries such as Russia and Belarus, which are accused of facilitating entry of migrants into EU territory.This phenomenon is described as a ‘hybrid threat’, and the European Commission is supporting EU states in addressing it by temporarily limiting access to migrants.Yesterday’s communication also included a greenlight by the EU executive to suspend the rights to access asylum if it is proportionate, temporary and limited to what is “strictly necessary”. However, NGOs such as Amnesty have raised concerns about the political narrative.Today Radio Schuman analyses the situation together with Sundberg.In the second segment of the podcast, we took a look at an important EU ministerial gathering in Brussels.
