Dobrindt announces drastic asylum -sharpening and controversial deportation
In a current meeting at the Zugspitze, Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has now set the course for a sharper European asylum system with his colleagues from several European countries, including France, Poland, Austria, Denmark and the Czech Republic. For the politicians, it is clear: it has to be faster and more efficient. Dobrindt called for speed in asylum procedures and the waiver of triple exams. In addition, it is discussed whether asylum procedures can also take place in third countries in the future without the applicants having a connection to these countries. Standardized deportations to Syria and Afghanistan should also be the rule in the future, such as [Deutschlandfunk] (https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/deutschland-achbarstaaten-asyl-asyl-asylum rules-Schaerfen-102.html) reports. In this context, there was a controversial deportation freight to Kabul in this context, on which 81 Afghans, all of whom were liable to leave and committed crimes in the past, were brought back home. Among the returned were 15 people from Bavarian and 13 from Baden-Württemberg-based detention centers. Critics, including the human rights organizations Amnesty International and Pro asylum, expressed sharp concerns. In view of the catastrophic human rights situation in Afghanistan, where torture, extrajudicial executions and disappearance are common, the deportation freight is assessed as highly risky, according to the [Tagesschau] (https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/abschieben-afghanistan- reactions-100.html).contradiction and criticism of the deportations
Amnesty International and Pro Asylum described the deportations as a clear violation of international law, since the Taliban prevails with brutal violence. UN High Commissioner Volker Türk therefore calls for an immediate stop of all deportations to Afghanistan. He warned that compulsory returns could bring those affected into acute danger. Dobrindt, on the other hand, defends the measures and explained that there could be no right of residence for severe offenders. Chancellor Friedrich Merz was recognizable towards Qatar for the support in carrying out the deportation freight, but at the same time emphasized that a diplomatic recognition of the Taliban is not in sight. This ambivalent attitude of the federal government ensures a lot of conversation in the political landscape and, last but not least, also among the citizens.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops further. Apart from the political measures and the critical situation in Afghanistan, the question of the responsibility of Europe and Germany arises in this complex crisis situation. Human rights should not be lost sight of, especially when it comes to returning rejected asylum seekers. How politics reacts here will be of great importance in the coming weeks and months. In any case, this first deportation freight after one year ensures a tense exchange about the ongoing discussions on asylum policy. Currently, the situation for many people in Afghanistan is even more precarious than ever, which makes the return of the deported critical, as ZDF notes.
