Migration Policy Institute of Europe

The EU's new Migration and Asylum Pact aims to address migration governance by balancing border management, asylum procedures, coordination among member states, and system trust. The pact, after over a decade of negotiations, marks a critical experiment in collective European migration governance.

The European Union has overhauled its migration policy to increase deportations and establish detention centers abroad, a move criticized by rights groups for its similarity to the Trump administration's immigration policies. The policy is framed by the EU as compatible with international law.
