Details

This book starts from the context of the extremely difficult access to international protection in the EU, accentuated by increased migration controls and by the externalization of European migration policies. Against this background, this book has carried out to analyze whether EU Member States hold any obligation, under international and European human rights law, to protect third country nationals applying for humanitarian visas with a view to lodging an international protection claim upon arrival in the EU. Through an effective interpretation of States’ obligation of non-refoulement, Eugénie Delval demonstrates that EU Member States may be required to issue humanitarian visas when there is no other alternative that would effectively protect the applicants against the impermissible exposure to foreseeable risks of harm.
