Disaster Displacement and International Protection in the EU (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This book investigates the reasons behind the absence of consolidated protection concerning disaster displacement in the EU.

It identifies three key reasons for this gap:

1) The way disaster displacement-along with its causes, dynamics, and the nature of harm-is conceptualized at both EU and national levels.

2) The interpretation and application of international protection statuses by asylum authorities and decision-makers, particularly in the context of disaster displacement.

3) The restrictive asylum policies adopted by decision-makers, which prioritize deterrence and create significant barriers to accessing protection.

Through a comprehensive and detailed analysis, it sheds light on the challenges and misconceptions faced by individuals displaced across borders due to disasters. It offers a thorough examination of existing legislation, policies, and case law at both the national and EU levels, with a particular focus on Italy. By addressing these issues, it provides a valuable insight for academics, policymakers, and decision-makers, advocating for an evolutive approach to protection claims related to disaster displacement. It calls for the dismantling of State-led barriers to asylum, arguing that such measures are neither effective nor human rights compliant.
