The EU is paving the way for 'return centers' in third countries for rejected asylum seekers who cannot be deported. Experts express concerns about human rights and the feasibility of such centers.
The EU has agreed on stricter asylum rules, including the establishment of "Return Hubs" in third countries for rejected asylum seekers. This aims to increase deportations, though details on locations and implementation are still unclear. The agreement also includes potential cuts to benefits and extended detention periods.
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt plans to establish 'return centers' in third countries by year-end to deter irregular migration. Discussions are underway with EU partners and several nations, aiming to signal that entry into Germany does not guarantee a right to stay if the country of origin is uncooperative. This initiative follows a decline in deportations.
