Abstract
The recent increase in migration to the European Union raised many concerns for the EU, for Member States and for the individual. Much of the discussion hitherto has been focused on the EU from a state perspective and has been concerned with the policies proposed and adopted to address and limit inward movement of peoples. One issue that has not received requisite attention is that of the meaning of ‘protection’ from the individual claimant’s point of view. This article reflects on the Syrian migration of 2015 and 2016 and the implications of a triumph of realpolitik—that is, state sovereignty—over a generous, meaningful and humane approach to asylum.
