“Extraterritorial Processing and the Future of Asylum in Europe: Assessing transit processing under international law”

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin: Prof. Dr. Pauline Endres de Oliveira (Law Faculty)

University of Melbourne: Nikolas Feith Tan, Senior Lecturer (Melbourne Law School)

The project aims at offering an analysis of the legal and policy dimensions of ‘transit processing’ in the context of the current policy debate in Germany around ways to reduce and deter irregular migration. 'Transit processing’ refers to the pre-entry processing of an asylum claim by European authorities before a person enters the EU. This form of extraterritorial asylum processing in a transit state or first country of asylum has the potential to create safe and controlled access to protection, relieve pressure on borders and share responsibility for refugees.
