Again in the Hands of States: A New EU Unfeasible Plan to Face Refugee Crisis? Commission Recommendation for a Voluntary Humanitarian Admission Scheme with Turkey

(Series Information) European Papers - A Journal on Law and Integration, 2016 1(1), 343-345 | European Forum Highlight of 16 April 2016 | (Abstract) This Highlight looks into the Commission Recommendation for a voluntary humanitarian admission scheme, which was adopted in December 2015 on the basis of the EU-Turkey Joint Action Plan. It embraces an overly ambitious definition of humanitarian admission of persons in need of international protection, displaced by the conflict in Syria, given the difficulties in adopting the relocation plan and its lack of results. Further, it also constitutes a new way to de-territorialize protection to refugees processing asylum claims outside the given nation state.
