The Status of Refugees in the European Union after 2022
Abstract
The article deals with the issue of refugee policy in the European Union and the changes related to the events of the Ukraine-Russia war. The author’s aim is to show the reasons for the most significant changes related to the determinants of the refugee influx in 2022, and to demonstrate that the EU asylum rules need to be revised and adapted to the needs that have arisen as a result of the war and such a massive relocation. The study takes an institutional-legal approach. The research analysis of the mentioned topic includes a literature review, official and political documents, secondary statistical data and content analysis. The author of the study used the statistical technique as well as dogmatic, sociological and comparative methodologies. To sum up the considerations in this article, it should be stated that the migration crisis of 2015 and 2022 revealed many shortcomings and gaps in the EU asylum and refugee policy. The Russian invasion of Ukraine showed that EU legislation needs to be reformed, which is why new institutional and legal solutions have been introduced, an example of which is a regulation aimed at combating irregular migration and facilitating the return of people to their country of origin, rather than just speeding up the process of processing asylum applications. Such a reform will enable a better verification of applicants filing more than one application.
