O uteceneckej kríze, azylovej reforme, holandskom referende ci prípadnom brexite sa v relácii TA3 rozprávali Luboš Blaha (SMER-SD), Jaroslav Paška (SNS) a Martin Klus (SaS). Najviac faktických výrokov použil poslanec strany SMER, ktorý sa ale aj dopustil najviac pochybení. Neaktuálne údaje použil vo výroku o prerozdelovaní utecencov, chybne interpretoval bilaterálne zmluvy medzi EÚ a Švajciarskom a nesprávne opísal aj postoje hlavných britských strán a ich predstavitelov ku zotrvaniu v EÚ. Jeho kolegovia vyriekli menej faktických výrokov, no aj výrazne menej chybovali. Klus prehánal o problémoch so zamestnanostou mladých potomkov migrantov a Jaroslav Paška nesprávne opisoval založenie Európskeho podporného úradu pre azyl (EASO) ako výsledok situácie na Malte spred niekolkých rokov. Celkovo bola debata bohatá na výroky a obsahovo pestrá, zahrnala aktuálne dianie aj vývoj inštitúcií EÚ a uteceneckej otázky.
(…) pretože už doposiaľ sme to mali tak zabehnuté, že Švédsko, Nemecko aj ďalšie severské krajiny vlastne v prípade azylových procedúr používali liberálnejšie prístupy ako je stanovené medzinárodnými normami.
O rozšírenom práve na azyl hovorí napríklad nasledujúca informácia z odbornej štúdie:
"Additionally, many states have their own national regulations and forms of protection: in Germany,
for example, Article 16a of the German Constitution (Grundgesetz) guarantees the right to asylum for the
victims of political persecution.
(...)
Asylum seekers who have not been granted any form of protection are legally obliged to leave Germany.
However, in many cases this does not happen, for various reasons: either repatriation is not possible (e.g. because the person in question does not possess valid identity documents), or there are no means of transport, or authorities cannot track the rejected asylum applicant."
Štúdia ďalej vysvetľuje, že rozšírenie práva na azyl v Nemecku pramení ešte z obdobia studenej vojny, teda z obdobia, kedy do západného Nemecka prichádzali ľudia utekajúci z východného bloku. Nemecký azylový systém je označovaný za pomerne liberálny.
Iná štúdia zas vysvetľuje, že oproti azylovému systému v západnom Nemecku je dnešný nemecký systém oveľa reštriktívnejší, no potvrdzuje (.pdf,s.13), že oproti ostatným európskym štátom je nemecký azylový systém celkovo liberálnejší.
Počet realizovaných návratov do krajín pôvodu je v Nemecku výrazne nižší, ako je európsky priemer(.pdf,s.6). Štúdia Konrad Adenauer Stiftung ďalej uvádza (.pdf,s.13): "liberal legislation
and interpretations of German refugee law, in particular on the part of individual German states. Only about one-tenth of the rejected asylum seekers actually leave Germany.The criticism levelled at the abuses of German asylum law is justified – although the causes are more complex than is publicly perceived. " (...)
O Švédskom práve na azyl píše UNHCR nasledovne:
"According to the Aliens Act (2005:716) a person has the right to asylum as a Convention refugee if he or she meets the definition defined in the Act. The wording of the definition is virtually identical to the definition in the Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees of 28 July 1951 (Geneva Convention) as supplemented by the New York Protocol of 31 January 1967.
requirements laid down in section 87 of the Aliens Act are met. The wording of this section is
virtually identical to the definition in the 1951 Convention, omitting the territorial and temporal
limitations. An alien residing in Finland is granted asylum if, owing to well-founded fear of
persecution for reasons of ethnic origin, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social
group or political opinion, he or she resides outside his or her country of origin or habitual
residence and if, owing to such fear, he or she is unwilling to avail him or herself of the
protection of the said country.
Under section 106 of the Aliens Act, refugee status is also granted to an alien who has been
admitted to Finland for resettlement under the refugee quota on the basis of refugee status.
Refugees admitted to Finland under the refugee quota based on the UNHCR proposal are all
granted Convention status. For this reason, Finland expects those that are proposed by
UNHCR to have a strong need of protection against the country of origin. With regards to
people other than those whom UNHCR has proposed, it is possible, on the basis of individual
consideration, to grant these people a residence permit based on the need for protection,
instead of granting them Convention/refugee status. Furthermore, under section 106 of the
Aliens Act, refugee status is granted to family members of aliens who have been granted
refugee status, if these family members have been issued with a residence permit on the
basis of family ties and if they are considered as refugees (see section 14 of this chapter)."
Severskou krajinou, ktorá nemá liberálny azylový systém, je Dánsko. To však bolo pre niektoré svoje praktiky v oblasti udeľovania azylu kritizované: "The law provides for the granting of asylum or refugee status, and the government has established a system for providing protection to refugees. Due to the controversy over a rejection in 2013 of asylum seekers from Uganda, during the year the government passed a law formalizing the UN’s 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol as the legal basis for granting asylum. This convention characterizes a refugee as any person who has a well-founded fear of persecution in his country of residence due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or support of a particular political opinion."
"In Denmark, the first Aliens (Consolidation) Act of 1983 formulated the most humanitarian, liberal regulations among Western European States. But the Act has become increasingly restrictive and now constitutes one of the tightest laws in the EU.” (...)
Vo všeobecnosti, v Európskej únii, oblasti s otvorenými hranicami a slobodou pohybu, krajiny zdieľajú rovnaké hodnoty a musia mať spoločný prístup v rámci azylovej politiky, pričom v EU sa o to stará Spoločný európsky azylový systém - CEAS.
