EU Readmission Agreements and Safe Third Country Practices
(2016) JURM02 20162Department of Law
- Abstract
- The purpose and aim of this thesis is to examine the EU readmission agreements and how they relate to the safe third country practices of the EU Member States. The focus of the thesis to determine what criteria that needs to be fulfilled for a EU Member State to use the safe third country practices as an inadmissibility ground of a protection claim, and if the EU readmission agreements enable such practice.
The research question that this thesis uses to reach its aim is:
• Do the EU readmission agreements enable the EU Member States’
use of safe third country practices?
Furthermore the thesis uses an additional research question relating to the measuring of the safe third country practices, which is:

The focus of the thesis to determine what criteria that needs to be fulfilled for a EU Member State to use the safe third country practices as an inadmissibility ground of a protection claim, and if the EU readmission agreements enable such practice.
The research question that this thesis uses to reach its aim is:
• Do the EU readmission agreements enable the EU Member States’
use of safe third country practices?
Furthermore the thesis uses an additional research question relating to the measuring of the safe third country practices, which is:
• Which criteria need to be fulfilled for a EU Member State to use safe third country practices?
To answer these questions I have used the sources of international and EU law, to determine the scope of relevant rules such as the principle of non- refoulement. The status and legality of the use of safe third country practices and readmission agreements in international and EU law have also been determined through using the sources of international and EU law. Furthermore I have used the EU-Turkey readmission agreement to illustrate how a specific readmission agreement is structured. Lastly I have used literature on the subject to bring forth criticism of both safe third country practices and the use of readmission agreements.
The conclusion of this thesis is that deeming a country safe through the criteria of there existing effective protection is up to the individual Member State, and thus not something that is enabled by the EU readmission agreements. The two other criteria relating to the safe third country practices in international law – the link between the migrant and the third country, and the consent of that third country to readmit the migrant – are on the other hand furthered by the existence of an EU readmission agreement which clearly determines the existence of a link and the consent of that third country.
