  2. Normative Geneva Convention and status of refugee • Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, signed in Geneva on 28 July 1951, as amended by the New York Protocol of 31 January 1967;Refugee is a national of a third country national who, for the well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular social group, is outside the country of his nationality and is not or, owing to such fear, unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country, or a stateless person who is outside the country in which his former habitual residence for the same reasons as mentioned above is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling return.

  3. Regulations Geneva Convention and status of refugee • Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, signed in Geneva on 28 July 1951, as amended by the New York Protocol of 31 January 1967;Refugee is a national of a third country national who, for the well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular social group, is outside the country of his nationality and is not or, owing to such fear, unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country, or a stateless person who is outside the country in which his former habitual residence for the same reasons as mentioned above is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling return.

  4. Community law”

  5. Dublin regulation and the status of asylum seeker • Regulation n. 604/2014 (Dublin Regulation III) entered into force on 1 January 2014 -. The main objective of the Regulation is to identify as quickly as possible and on the basis of objective criteria the State responsible for examining the asylum application, and to set reasonable time for the performance of this procedure. Among the necessary criteria (Chapter III) to identify the State responsible to examine applications include: the principle of family unity for unaccompanied minors: the State has jurisdiction in which is located a family member, provided this is in the best interests of minorei family ties: it is the competent State where the person normally, or has been recognized as a refugee family member of the applicant asiloil having residence permits or visas is competent the state that issued such titoliil living or illegal entry: the State is responsible through whose borders the asylum seeker has illegally crossed the borders of the European Union

  6. The Regulation defines in general terms that when no Member State may be designated as responsible for examining an asylum application on the basis of the mentioned criteria, we consider the first Member State in which the application was filed. The concrete application of the Dublin Regulation proved to be quite difficult and controversial. Problems arise in particular due to the considerable differentiation of methods and results between different EU Member States in the field of reception of asylum seekers and refugees. The Dublin system also effectively penalizes the United States border, being now evident that the entry of asylum seekers without documents is prevalent practice, so always apply more frequently the general criteria for which it is competent to examine the application the first entrance country.For art. 10, paragraph 3 of the Italian Constitution:"A foreigner who is denied in his own country the real exercise of the democratic liberties guaranteed by the Italian Constitution has the right to asylum in the Republic, under the conditions established by law."The norm, broader content than the concept of refugee, has not been translated into a comprehensive law on asylum. the provisions have been issued on the matter instead of refugee status.

  7. DIRECTIVE 2013/32 / EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL? Of 26 June 2013 on common procedures for granting and withdrawing international protection status - "DIRECTIVE PROCEDURES" 'Application for international protection' means a request for protection addressed to a Member State by a national of a third country national or a stateless person which can be understood to seek refugee status or subsidiary protection status, and who neither seek explicitly a different kind of protection outside the scope of this Directive, that can be applied for separately;«Subsidiary protection status» means the recognition by a Member State of a third-country national or a stateless person as a person eligible for subsidiary protection;'Applicant' means any citizen of a third country or stateless person who has made an application for international protection on which has not yet adopted a final decision;”

  8. Subsidiary protection - definition "CITY OF A THIRD OR STATELESS COUNTRY THAT DOESN'T POSSESS THE REQUISITE TO BE RECOGNIZED AS SHELTERED BUT IN WHOSE COMPARISONS SUBSIST FOUNDED MOTIVES TO BELIEVE THAT, IF HE/SHE RETURNED IN THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN (OR IN THE COUNTRY OF DOMICILE IF STATELESS), IT WOULD TAKE A REAL RISK TO SUFFER A SERIOUS DAMAGE" (ART. 2, LETT.

  16. EU borders more secure and intelligent: the Commission proposes a? / O system Brussels, 6 April 2016 the European Commission - Press release? The European Commission has presented a revised proposal for a Regulation on the establishment of an entry / exit system (EES) to speed up, facilitate and strengthen border control procedures for nationals of third countries into the EU direct. • The input / output system proposed will enable the effective management of the short-stay authorized, and increased automation of border controls, allowing even easier to identify counterfeit documents and false identities. The system will apply to all third country nationals admitted for a short stay in the Schengen area (not exceeding 90 days within 180 days). • The system will record the names, the type of travel documents and biometric data, and the date and place of entry and exit. This will facilitate border crossing for travelers in good standing and will help identify those who remained in the EU after the expiry of the authorized period and identify people without documents in the Schengen area. The system will also record the rejections.

  17. “HOTSPOT SYSTEM” • The "Hotspots” are a method of management of exceptional migratory flows to give support to Member States in the forefront in addressing the strong migratory pressure at the EU's external borders. The European Asylum Support Office (EASO), the EU agency for the management of borders (Frontex), the EU Police Cooperation Agency (Europol) and the Agency for judicial cooperation EU (Eurojust) will work on the ground with the member State authorities to help it meet its obligations under EU law and to conduct quickly the operations of identification, registration and fingerprinting of incoming migrants.

  18. THE ITALIAN PROPOSAL: MIGRATION COMPACT The philosophy of the Migration Compact is to focus on all third countries in the same way in which a month ago routes from Turkey were closed. Money in exchange for cooperation. Otherwise, all the measures proposed to date by the Union, such as automatic re-distribution of asylum seekers among the 28 or the border guard and coastal EU, will not solve the crisis. On the other hand from Libya arrive economic migrants, not asylum seekers, thus not relocatable in other European countries and destined to remain with us. For this reason according to the government it must dab flows in countries of origin and transit in Africa. the countries of origin and transit must ensure effective controls of borders and reduction of flows to Europe (thanks to EU money and technology). Repatriations from the transit countries of those who have no right to asylum (because coming from a safe country) thanks to EU funding for reintegration programs for those who are sent home. Third countries should then be helped to build a system and infrastructure to accommodate migrants, among them those who will have the right to asylum can enter Europe with an allocation key between the 28. It calls for the new EU Border Guard fund return of transit to the country of origin. Italy proposes the establishment of the Common Eu migration Bonds, European bonds to cover the costs (very high) plan.

  22. “TRITON” replaced the active missions in the Mediterranean is the other Frontex is the national "Mare Nostrum". A "Triton" involved 29 countries, and was funded by the European Union with 2.9 million Euros per month: about two-thirds less than those destined to Mare Nostrum. Unlike "Mare Nostrum", also, "Triton" provides for the control of international waters only up to 30 miles from the Italian coast: its main purpose is to control the border and not the rescue.

Both also need to respond quickly to emergencies, through procedures that allow you to grant loans within a few days.Through these instruments, the European Union not only seeks to strengthen the response to the challenges posed by immigration, but also to stimulate solidarity between European peoples themselves.

Through the reduction of activated programs and a large-scale planning is pursued in order to address more effectively the phenomenon of immigration. The latter is for European society not just a problem to solve, but also a challenge, an opportunity to be seized. In fact, it indicates one of the areas about which the European states have better understood the importance of effective cooperation and Community action. The practical cooperation, information sharing and synchronization of national responses are the foundations on which it is building a common approach to the management of migration.
