Abgesagt | Denkraum Hannover: Was bedeutet die Europäische Asylreform?

PICK OF THE DAY
You cannot miss this event.
In the organizer's words:

In May, the European Parliament passed a reform of asylum law. The so-called Common European Asylum System (CEAS) promises to be able to decide who is entitled to asylum based on uniform standards and, above all, outside the EU borders. However, a closer look reveals pressing questions: What impact will the reform have on people seeking protection? How compatible is it with human rights and the German constitution? We take a closer look at the situation.

Contents

The asylum reform is due to come into force in June 2026, while the EU member states have until the end of 2024 to draw up their implementation plans. In our event, we would like to take a closer look at the new asylum law and discuss what it means for refugees and how well or badly it is meant, conceived and implemented.

  • What is the intention behind the GEAS?
  • Which of the measures have positive and which negative effects?
  • How should the CEAS be implemented in Germany?
  • What is the history of European asylum law?
  • What can be done to ensure that the Mediterranean is no longer the most dangerous border in the world? And above all: who can do something about it?

Especially in light of the results of the European elections, it is worth taking a closer look at this topic. Because behind the legal texts are the fates of many people. Let's talk together about how the future of asylum law can be shaped and what role Germany can play in this.
