The impact of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic on migration within the European Union

U daljnjim poglavljima ovoga rada objasnit ću primjenu europskog zakonodavstva kroz temeljne uredbe i direktive kojima se uređuje pravo azila, kako migracija izgleda na karti Europe i kako je ona evaluirana putem pojedinih statistika. Opisat ću rad glavnih neovisnih agencija koje europskim tijelima pomažu u radu, način na koji je ova pandemija zbog velikih restrikcija kretanja utjecala na položaj migranata pri traženju međunarodne zaštite i ukratko opisati s kojim sve izazovima se migranti na svome putu pritom susreću. Poseban naglasak želim staviti na sudsku praksu Suda Europske unije i Europskog suda za ljudska prava koja kroz žive primjere pokazuje odnos prema migrantima i njihovu borbu ka zaštiti njihovih temeljnih prava sve do dobivanja međunarodne zaštite od strane države članice. Za kraj ću u zaključku dati osvrt na rad i svoje kritičko mišljenje.In further chapters of this paper, I will explain the application of European legislation through the basic regulations and directives governing the right to asylum, how the migration looks on the map of Europe and how it is evaluated through out individual statistics. I will describe the work of the main independent agencies that help European bodies work, how this pandemic has affected the position of migrants in seeking international protection due to severe restrictions on movement, and briefly describe the challenges migrants face along the way. I would like to place special emphasis on the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, which shows through living examples the attitude towards migrants and their struggle to protect their fundamental rights until they receive international protection. In the end, I will give a review of the work and my critical opinion
