International Debate: EUROPEAN MIGRATION AGREEMENTS FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

• What is the reality at Europe’s borders?
• Are we completely undermining the Geneva Convention with the new EU asylum agreement?
• What further steps might be taken by the EU states?

Many EU states are closely watching the United Kingdom. In 2024, the UK Parliament approved an agreement with Rwanda. It states that Rwanda is a safe country of origin and all asylum seekers – not only Rwandese asylum seekers – can be deported there. To what extent do such agreements conflict with other global human rights and asylum agreements? What is the situation like in the countries at Europe’s borders, but also in Rwanda?

Speaker:
Birgit Sippel (SPD representative in the European Parliament)
Azizou Chéhou (from „Alarm Phone Sahara (APS),“ Niger)
Claver Nzirorera (CSU committee member, German – Rwandan)

Facilitation: Monika Hoegen (journalist, moderator, expert in international
communication)

We look forward to your participation.
Both questions and opinions are welcome in the discussion. Only through dialogue can we grow together and learn from each other. However, inhumane attitudes have no place in the international debates. We ask for a respectful and dignified discussion and look forward to the exchange.
