Navigating Access to Asylum in Greece: Exploring Facilitating and Inhibiting Factors through the Lens of Human Rights Defenders and Border Control Perspectives
Summary:
This dissertation explores the effectiveness of the practical asylum framework in Greece in facilitating international protection applications. Through primary and secondary data collection, it investigates the impact of border safeguarding, the criminalization of human rights defenders, search and rescue policies, and their overall influence on migration management. The study scrutinizes the implementation of border safeguarding measures, legal responses to pushbacks, instances of legal violations associated with pushback practices, and the normalization of such procedures. Furthermore, it explores violations of the right to seek asylum and the contravention of the principle of non-refoulement within the Greek asylum legal framework, offering a comparative analysis of these issues in contemporary conditions. Additionally, it evaluates European efforts to enhance the Greek asylum system, emphasizing collaborative initiatives by the European Union Asylum Agency (EUAA) and the Greek Asylum Service (GAS).
