According to media reports, the federal government will give up its abstention at the so-called crisis regulation at EU level. Chancellor Scholz has reportedly spoke a word of power at today's cabinet session and decided that the Federal Government will "not stop anything" in connection with the crisis regulation in Brussels. The Federal Chancellor is responsible for another massive dam break for general children's and human rights in the EU.
In cases of "crisis", "instrumentalization" and "Force Majeure", the crisis regulation is intended to delay registrations, the extension of border procedures and massive lowering in the accommodation and recording standards. The federal government exceeds the next red line, especially towards children and adolescents - the crisis regulation provides no exceptions for them. This means that unaccompanied children and adolescents from countries with high recognition rates such as Syria and Afghanistan in the future could contest their asylum procedures for up to 20 weeks at the external borders in camps under detention or adhesive -like conditions. This is also unsustainable and in particular against the background that the Federal Government was noted in an additional declaration in June that exceptions from the border process for minors and their family members remain very important.
»It is inconceivable that Chancellor Scholz, especially after the massive human and child law criticism of the reform plans for the common European asylum system, forces the Federal Government to be approved in June for the crisis regulation. The crisis regulation gives individual member states the opportunity to call out an emergency and thus legitimize the massive human rights violations that we are currently observing in the foreign borderers. You do not fight human rights violations by giving them a legal framework. The individual right to asylum, the Geneva Refugee Convention and the UN Convention on the Rights of Children still apply at the European external borders. An agreement on a crisis regulation in Brussels once again questions this, ”says Sophia Eckert, asylum and migration expert at terre des hommes .
In June, terre des hommes together with 54 other German organizations, asked the federal government to vote against the crisis regulation joint appeal A similar appeal at European level was borne by more than 100 organizations across the EU.
