How do you protect refugees and migrants effectively?

Date: March 5, 2020, No. EU project "Protect", in cooperation with the University of Stuttgart, examines the impact of the UN global compacts The United Nations global compacts on migrants and refugees are intended to ease the fate of millions of people and to distribute the burden more fairly among the host countries. Since their adoption in 2018, the agreements have caused heated discussions. The EU project "Protect", in which the Institute for Social Sciences at the University of Stuttgart is also involved, is now examining for the first time their actual impact. The aim is to provide politicians with strategies to protect people effectively. The protection of human rights such as international protection is a central goal, particularly, of democracies. In the current political climate, however, this task is increasingly being questioned by the nation states.
