During asylum processes, detention must be strictly justified by grounds clearly defined.
Even when such grounds exist, *alternatives* to detention must first & foremost be considered.
Check the EU Asylum Agency’s manual: euaa.europa.eu/sites/defaul...
Alternatives are often as effective.

Much welcome change of regime
But for most Syrians inside the country or in exile, no change… yet!
Still living in extremely dire conditions
As Commissioner Lahbib visits the region, the EU must demonstrate its humanitarian leadership by stepping up ECHO’s financial support

Here is what Poland & Denmark should consider as they lead Europe in 2025:
www.refworld.org/policy/polre...
Strengthen borders & asylum systems

make returns of failed asylum claimants more effective & invest more € in third countries
=
for both refugees’ & EU citizens’ benefits.

New Humaniyarian, challenge accepted but no, this is not the end of asylum!
Let’s not be blinded by short term populist decisions.
Most Europeans still stand in favor of protecting those fleeing wars or persecution.
But reforms are urgently needed!

Preventing foreigners to enter the EU, including for the sake of seeking asylum, have become - unfortunately - a trend these days.
The @ECHR_CEDH reiterated that denying access without looking at the claims (pushbacks) is a violation of human rights.

As you wage your wars, think of others

As you return home, think of others

As you think of others far away, think of yourself

A centre for refugees managed by refugees in BXL?
#NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
At @unhcr.org 🇪🇺 & 🇧🇪🇱🇺 it is not about us, but about refugees’ own resilience & leadership.
We amplify their voices (and it is not about “giving voice” as they already have theirs)…

Some are leaving violence.
Others are returning home.
Sounds familiar?
No, it is not Syria, but South Sudan.
And in both places & many others, without 🇪🇺 ECHO, we would not be able to be at the service of displaced - whatever directions they take…

1. Nobody shall be forcibly returned to Syria - nobody means nobody
2. Syrians shall continue to have access to asylum in third countries - including the EU
3. Syrians will need massive supports to reintegrate if/when they decide to return - let’s be ready

Syria is at a crossroads
Undoubtedly, the past - a cruel regime - must be tried
Undoubtedly, nobody knows what the future holds
Undoubtedly, many Syrians hope for a peaceful future in a united Syria
Undoubtedly, protection must be guaranteed to those in exile who yet doubt it
