Germany:Report slams Merz's immigration policies

Summary
A recent report from the Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies (BICC) has sharply criticized German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's immigration policies, particularly his plans to tighten border controls and turn away migrants and asylum seekers. Experts like Benjamin Etzold argue that these measures are ineffective and could exacerbate issues like human trafficking. They emphasize that such policies often fail to deter migration and may push migrants toward more dangerous and illegal routes.
The report also highlights the inadequacy of Germany's refugee policies in addressing global displacement challenges. Researchers advocate for multilateral solutions and warn against prioritizing political considerations over legal obligations and human rights. They call for a shift towards providing legal pathways and improving living conditions in migrants' home countries to reduce irregular migration and uphold asylum rights.
This criticism comes amid a broader debate in Germany over immigration policies, with Merz's proposals facing opposition from various political and religious groups. The controversy underscores the complexities of balancing national security concerns with humanitarian obligations in the context of global migration.
