Fortress Europe. Lower the drawbridges

  • 70 years after it was signed, the Geneva Refugee Convention is degenerating into an empty phrase. Its central promise that no one with a „well-founded fear of persecution“ may be turned back stands in stark contrast to the current situation at Europe‘s borders. Yet, the EU, with its value-based self-image, has an essential role to play in guaranteeing the Convention’s promise for the next 70 years and beyond. So even if member states will not completely abandon the construction of a „Fortress Europe“, they should at least consider building rawbridges. Policy Fellow Lucas Rasche and Migration Scholar Judith Kohlenberger explain how.
