Amendment No. 21 | Doc. 13866 | 28 September 2015

After Dublin – the urgent need for a real European asylum system

Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights

Origin - 2015 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 5, replace the first two sentences with the following sentences:

"Furthermore, the implementation of the Dublin system has in a number of instances given rise to violations of asylum seeker's human rights, such as the right not to be subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment, the right not to be detained arbitrarily, the right to respect for private and family life, the right to an effective remedy and the prohibition of collective expulsions. Some of these violations have been confirmed by court judgments at the national or European level; it is noteworthy that in its judgment M.S.S. v. Belgium and Greece and in a few other cases, the European Court of Human Rights has criticised the return of some asylum seekers to Greece, because of flawed asylum procedures and poor conditions of detention of irregular migrants."
