izv. prof. dr. sc. - Access to asylum protection and Corona: challenges at EU external borders

On 16 March 2020, the EU has brought a decision on Temporary Restriction on Non-Essential Travel to the EU in view of COVID-19, already extended to mid-June. Although there are the exemptions to that decision for persons in need of international protection or who must be admitted for other humanitarian reasons, in practice vast majority of refugees and asylum seekers, including those who move irregularly, have faced limitations in accessing EU territory and a possibility to seek international protection. The several EU Member States have in general suspended registration, or limited access only upon prior notification via phone or electronic-services, or allowed applications only for exceptional cases and/or for vulnerable persons. The lecture will focus on the access to territory and asylum system and how the restrictions posed by COVID-19 measures influence the right to access to international protection. The focus will be put at the situation on southeastern EU borders, where so-called Balkan Route in 2015-2016 served as a corridor for hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants on their way to Germany and further north.
