REQUENA DE TORRE, María Dolores. The Erosion of the European Union’s Asylum Policy. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2022, vol.55, n.165, pp.255-284.  Epub 12-Dez-2023. ISSN 2448-4873.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484873e.2022.165.18612.

In the academic activity mentioned in the first note, it was highlighted the alarming situation of forced migration was highlighted, and many similarities between the migration strategies developed in America and in the European Union became evident. But, also the particularities of the European system due to the development of a common policy. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to thoroughly review the European Union’s asylum policy and its relationship with immigration and border management policies. The conclusions are not positive: the current strategy based on the deterritorialisation of migratory controls has led the policy of international protection focused on the priority objective of combating irregular immigration to vanish, as well as to the fortification of borders. Although the response given by the European Union in 2022 for the reception of Ukrainians is an exception to this trend, the political situation and the current reform proposal lead us to believe that it will not be extended to other non-European migratory flows, making it a discriminatory decision. Let us hope we are wrong.
