Abstract

Moria Kampı’nın yanmasından günler sonra Avrupa Komisyonu Yeni Göç ve Sığınma Paktı’nı yayınladı. Pakt, tüm Avrupa Birliği’nde sorumluluk ve dayanışmada denge sözü veriyor. Yine de plan, Türkiye gibi ülkelerle, hali hazırda AB- Türkiye Mutabakatı ile zaten yürürlükte olan, uluslararası işbirliğinin derinleştirilmesini gerektiriyor. Digger taraftan, beşinci yıldönümüne yaklaştığı şu günlerde, AB- Türkiye Mutabakatı, hem insan hakları hem de uygulaması bakımından ciddi eleştirilerle karşı karşıya.
Bu makale AB’nin 21. Yüzyılın insani krizine resmi cevaplarına odaklanmaktadır. Çalışma öncelikle 2016 tarihli AB- Türkiye Mutabakatı’nın hem Türkiye hem de AB bakımından düzenlenmesi ve uygulanması üzerinde duracaktır. Daha sonar tartışma AB’nin Yeni Göç ve Sığınma Paktı ve bunun AB- Türkiye Mutabakatı açısından anlamı ile devam edecektir.

FROM EU-TURKEY STATEMENT TO NEW PACT ON MIGRATION AND ASYLUM: EU’S RESPONSE TO 21ST CENTURY’S HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

Abstract

Days after the burning of Moria Camp to the ground, European Commission released its brand new “New Pact on Asylum and Migration”. The Pact promises a balance between responsibility and solidarity in whole European Union. Yet, the plan still requires deepening international partnership with countries like Turkey which seems like an action already prevails considering EU- Turkey Statement. On the other hand, getting close to its fifth anniversary, EU- Turkey Statement has its serious critics regarding human rights but also in implementation.
This article focuses EU’s official response(s) to 21st century’s humanitarian crisis. The study will first focus on the regulation and implementation of EU- Turkey Statement of 2016 both regarding Turkey and EU. Then the discussion will continue with EU’s New Pact on Migration and Asylum and its meaning for EU- Turkey Statement.
