Five EU Countries Plan Return Hubs Outside EU for Rejected Migrants by 2027
Denmark and four other EU countries—Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Greece—plan to establish 'return hubs' outside the EU by 2027 to send migrants whose asylum applications are rejected. The initiative aims to create facilities in non-EU countries, with potential partners including Uganda and Rwanda. Officials emphasize adherence to international law and oversight by organizations like the UN Refugee Agency. However, human rights groups have criticized the plan, expressing concerns about migrants' rights and conditions in these centers.
