Pakt o migraci a azylu a jeho dopad na migrační a azylovou politiku EU

The topic of this thesis is the phenomenon of migration, or the international or cross-border movement of persons, in the context of the Pact on Migration and Asylum, which was adopted in May this year (2024). The timeframe for exploring the topic of the thesis is the Commission's term of office between 2019 and 2024 under the leadership of Ursula von der Leyen. The Pact on Migration and Asylum fundamentally reforms the current design of the Common Migration and Asylum Policy and introduces new legal institutes into the EU migration and asylum acquis, such as a mandatory flexible solidarity mechanism, a system for screening asylum seekers at the external borders of the Union, and uniform procedures and criteria for assessing asylum applications. However, the aim of this thesis is not to provide a complete list of all the changes introduced by the Pact on Migration and Asylum into EU migration and asylum law, but to critically assess whether these changes reflect EU values, namely the principle of human rights and the principle of solidarity. As human rights and solidarity are fundamental prerequisites for a functioning EU Migration and Asylum Policy, the implementation and subsequent application of the Pact will be at the forefront of political and public interest. For this reason, it makes sense to address this topic in the academic sphere as well.
