"Managing refugees the European way: the Dublin Convention from 1990 until today"

This research aims to assess the progress, effectiveness, and efficiency of the Dublin Convention of Refugees, which originated as a Convention determining the State responsible for examining applications for asylum lodged in one of the Member States of the European Communities (97/C 254/01), previously Dublin II Regulation (Council Regulation EC No 343/2003), and currently Dublin III Regulation (Regulation EU No. 604/2013) by applying the historical approach of the Convention from 1990 until today. A system determines member States responsible for scrutinization of applications for asylum lodged faces criticism. It is claimed that the current system fails in providing fair, efficient, and effective protection. As a result, in 2008, many refugees transferred under Dublin Convention were not always able to access an asylum procedure hence they are at risk of being returned to persecution. We are all aware that the Refugee crisis is a human crisis. Currently, nearly 80 million people around the world are displaced from their homes. We are witnessing a huge shift of humanity unlike any seen before. Thus, some important questions should be considered, in this quest like, how can the system maximize its goal despite the circumstances? We are aware that the increased politicization and unfairness of the system have been a commentary in recent years
