Refoulement of migrants: what can European states really do?. The Immigration and Demography Observatory publishes a note on the pushback of migrants at the Union's borders.
A complex and sensitive subject, which resurfaces as the European elections approach. On February 2, 2024, the Council of State drastically restricted the possibility for the State to push back migrants who had entered the European Union (EU) illegally to France’s borders. The note details the range of guarantees that Directive 2008/115, better known as the “ return directive ”, offers these migrants.
