‘Killed slowly’ in Europe’s asylum system: how the new migration pact is (not) working

The new EU migration pact, now in effect, has intensified the challenges faced by asylum seekers in Europe, leaving them in a precarious and prolonged state of uncertainty. Despite the intention to streamline processes, the pact has instead exacerbated delays and complications within already strained systems. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of the pact in addressing the root causes of migration and the humanitarian crisis it aims to mitigate, highlighting the urgent need for a more compassionate and efficient approach to asylum processing.
