Panel abstractLegal pathways to protection have become a buzz-word in recent policy debates on migration and asylum and have been promoted as part of the New York Declaration of 2016, the Global Compact on Refugees of 2018, and the Proposal for an EU Pact on Migration and Asylum of 2020. They denote safe and regulated avenues for people in need of international protection that provide access to and lawful stay in the territory of a receiving country where these people’s international protection needs are met (UNHCR 2019). Legal pathways include humanitarian admission programmes, such as resettlement and community sponsorship, as well as instruments rooted in countries’ existing immigration legislation and based on labour migration, education and family reunification. Legal pathways are thus considered a protection tool, but without certain safeguards in place they can easily become migration control mechanisms that serve Member-States’ exclusionary interests. By combining approaches from law and political science, the first part of this panel aims to tackle the arising tension between protection rationale and migration control, and to assess its implications for people in need of protection at the EU and national levels, using the examples of Spain, Sweden, Germany, Poland and Canada.
