Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen on Podcast: Discussing EU's New Pact on Migration and Asylum

On the Danish podcast Udsyn, Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen speaks about the new EU Pact on Migration and Asylum.

Episode description:

"After eight years of intense debate, the EU has finally adopted a migration and refugee pact aimed at more equitable refugee distribution and streamlining applicant rejections. Its timing, coinciding with upcoming parliamentary elections where far-right parties are poised for significant gains, raises questions. Yet, no one seems entirely satisfied with the pact, and its potential to quell the debate remains uncertain. Why does the refugee and migrant issue continue to divide Europe? In today's Udsyn, we engage in conversation with migration and refugee law professor, Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen, probing whether lasting solutions are conceivable within the frameworks of refugee and human rights conventions."
