Bordering Asylum: Examining the EU’s Border Procedures under the Asylum Procedures Regulation (EU) 2024/1348

Development summary

Vasiliki Apatzidou’s article in the International Journal of Refugee Law examines how border procedures have been expanded under the EU Asylum Procedures Regulation (EU) 2024/1348 within the Common European Asylum System. It traces the shift from exceptional border measures to routine practice and argues that the ‘non-entry’ legal fiction may weaken procedural safeguards for asylum seekers at the border and place disproportionate burdens on frontline states.
