📝 Articulating a coherent set of thoughts about a not fully coherent pact that has yet to enter into application is no easy task! However, with sincere thanks to EU Law Live for the invitation, here are some initial thoughts. 💡 In this piece I point to the overwhelming focus on border management in questions concerning *migration* management, unresolved implementation gaps, and how EU institutions navigate their respective roles in this field. I observe how lived experiences of third country nationals are flattened by reductive 'asylum or out' policies, the need for critical (scholarly) perspectives on questions concerning asylum, as well as the need for a coherent theory of shared - or relational - human rights responsibility in this field. 🤓 As always, keen on your insights!

In this new EU Law Live´s Weekend Edition, Joyce De Coninck critiques the EU's New Pact on Migration and Asylum, arguing that its focus on border management overlooks critical human rights and justice issues and lacks effective mechanisms to enforce asylum protections. They challenge the assumption that formal legislative processes guarantee legality, suggesting that elements of the Pact may fail under judicial review. The author calls for a more comprehensive, shared responsibility model to address power dynamics and better integrate human rights into EU migration policy.
