@gaiaromeo.bsky.social and I also published an article in this Special Issue dealing with the role of human rights norms in the implementation of the EU-Turkey statement. Check directly here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The power of human rights norms: understanding Greek non-deportations under the EU-Turkey statement
When migrants cannot be deported, the EU often puts the blame on the non-cooperation of countries of migrants’ origin and transit. This article questions this outward-looking focus by deconstructin...

Both surprised and not surprised to see 12 Israeli projects listed as beneficiaries of an advanced ERC grant. Not granting new grants to a country actively committing war crimes (and in doing so offering support and legitimizing it) seems like the lowest bar

Both as a migration scholar and activist, I strongly support the referendum to change the law on Italian citizenship. Vote YES to reduce the residency requirement from 10 to 5 years - a much more reasonable time. Italy belongs to those who choose it!

Instead of promoting integration - for the benefit of all of us as a society- the EU keeps fuelling hatred and criminalising migrants. This proposal is shameful for so many reasons.

The @ec.europa.eu published its proposal on Return Regulation Overall, the Return regulation proposal severely limits procedural safeguards and restricts migrants' rights to appeal against the return decision and detention.
