The European Union’s new Pact on Migration and Asylum is characterized by a compromise at the expense of human rights and responsibility sharing, while it increases responsibilities for countries at the EU’s external borders. Furthermore, it establishes a robust border and migration management and outsources member states’ migration management responsibilities to third countries outside EU scrutiny. In the context of the big gains made by far-right parties in the 2024 European Parliament elections, the question is whether the new pact will provide an answer to systemic problems or whether it mark the age of non-Europe in migration and asylum policy?
