Migration, as a global phenomenon has a long history also in the Slovak Republic. Most of the migrants come, or are passing through its territory legally. There are still cases of illegal migration, too. The reasons for this form of state borders crossing are diverse. Part of illegal migrants are also people who are belonging to vulnerable groups, including unaccompanied minors. Since this is a specific and particularly vulnerable group of migrants, the European Union and subsequently the Slovak Republic adopted several legislative measures in the area of migration and asylum. Their aim is to adjust the status of unaccompanied minors and to contribute to finding lasting solutions to their current situation, taking into account their best interests.

The article is dedicated to the problem of urban marginalisation of the elderly reflected in literature. Through an evolutionary comparative approach, the treatment of the subject is shown in an Argentine novel by Ana María Shua, La muerte como efecto secundario, published in 1997, and a Spanish novel from the year 2020, Los ancianos siderales, by Luis Mateo Díez. Both books, concentrated around the issue of residential homes, can be perceived as prose of social denunciation. However, they represent different aesthetics and styles: an epistolary narrative in the form of a long monologue in the Argentine novel, belonging to the current of future anticipation fiction; and a choral literature of fractal aesthetics in the most recent book by the Spanish author, marked by a surrealist and oneiric approach. The article offers a comparison of the images of senectitude in both novels, then of the representations of care homes and, finally, describes the characteristics of the societies that allow and support this abusive system.

Refugees and migrants have always been of particular concern to the Roman Catholic Church and its pastoral care. Even if the large influx of refugees happening in 2015 and 2016 is no longer the case, flight and migration are still relevant topics in Austria. The contribution deals with the historical development of canonical regulations, the situation of refugees and migrants in Austria, the legal basis, the implementation of asylum procedures and numbers, the statements of the Austrian Bishop’s Conference, the access to a Church or religious community and converting from one to another, the question of the Catholic Church’s necessity of salvation, regulations concerning catechumenate and the question of church asylum. It provides figures, data and facts, presents the canonical and state legal situation and analyses it. It tries to make weak points obvious and would like to provide help for future considerations.

Although refugees are offered the potential of asylum protection through the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, many states are attempting to curtail the number of asylum applications received each year. Several scholars have argued that even without such deterrence measures, some refugees are less likely to receive a positive asylum decision than others. Using country level data for 32 European states, this project examines the effects of various characteristics – including gender, age, and state of origin – on the likelihood of being granted asylum. This study is a first attempt at empirically testing the asylum literature’s anecdotal evidence of bias in the decision-making processes in determining the outcomes of asylum claims.

The article comprises the overview of the essential legal, administrative and financial means that the EU has at its disposal in case of rapid influx of immigrants, as well as a selection of major obstacles to the use of these tools, based on observation of the activities of the EU and its member states taken up to deal with the aforementioned situation which took place in 2015. Using the abovementioned observation and an analysis of relevant documents, it is argued that the refugee crisis of 2015 has revealed the necessity of a profound institutionalisation of the European immigration policy as the most effective way to overcome difficulties in response to such situations. The analysis leads also to the conclusion that the EU is caught in a dilemma of either suspending the Dublin system in crisis situations or creating a new system of intensive support for border member states. Artykuł zawiera przegląd najistotniejszych prawnych, administracyjno-technicznych i finansowych środków, jakimi dysponuje Unia Europejska na wypadek gwałtownego zwiększenia się napływu imigrantów, a także diagnozę dotyczącą najważniejszych przeszkód w korzystaniu z tych narzędzi, opartą na podstawie obserwacji działań UE i jej państw członkowskich, podejmowanych w związku z wystąpieniem wspomnianej sytuacji w 2015 r. Korzystając z tego przeglądu i analizy odnośnych dokumentów, autor dowodzi, że kryzys migracyjny z 2015 r. ujawnił potrzebę głębokiej instytucjonalizacji wspólnej polityki imigracyjnej UE. Dokonana przez niego analiza prowadzi również do wniosku, że Unia Europejska stoi przed dylematem między zawieszaniem mechanizmu dublińskiego w momentach gwałtownego napływu uchodźców a stworzeniem systemu efektywnego wsparcia dla państw znajdujących się na granicach zewnętrznych UE.

The interpreter has the demanding task of “not creating a contradiction” by employing an identical concept in a different context. The classifications of the asylum applicant encounter the institutionally determined limits. Reliable verification of the applicant’s credibility is, however, dependent on knowledge of his/her local context and demands additional questioning. In this process, a denial of interlingual and intralingual complexity may be a source of invisible injustice (Spotti 2019:87-88). Both interpreting and interpretation is thus an inseparable part of the process in which police officers, decision-makers and judges, paraphrasing John L. Austin and John Searle, “do things with questions”. The author applies this interpretive framework to data from ethnographic research, which was conducted in Bratislava, Slovakia, in 2017-19, on interpreting for asylum applicants in the institutional settings. She elucidates the diversity of the standpoints - of refugees, court and ad hoc interpreters, representatives of the foreign police and of the migration office, as well as legal representatives from civic associations, referencing to relevant findings in linguistic and legal anthropology. In this article Helena Tužinská proposes that: (1) the discrepancies in the reports are conditioned by the context of interpreting, (2) participants “do things with questions”, and (3) inter-cultural interpretation can be a speech act.

The aim of the article is to compare the reform and the narration of the psychiatric environment in the work of Franco Basaglia and Mario Tobino from an ecological perspective. Both psychiatrists worked to reform the asylum spaces and the therapeutic relationships within it. Their actions and their narrations were both ecological but had an opposite ending. While Tobino defended until the end the idea of a safe psychiatric environment, protected by society, considered dangerous, Franco Basaglia strongly affirmed the repressiveness of the asylum space, the need to dismantle it and return the madness to society.

Migration as a complex phenomenon encompasses political, economic, security, sociological, historical, legal, and other issues. All migrants are human beings with human dignity regardless their migratory status. Any migrant is exposed to various kinds of vulnerability. There are different types or categories of migrants which include “legal” and “illegal” (undocumented) migrants, “voluntary” or involuntary ones, “labor”, “economic”, “humanitarian” and “boat” migrants etc. Forced migration covers refugees, stateless persons, or asylum seekers. Underdevelopment and armed conflicts are the main causes of migration. We already have “environmental” or “climatic” migrants. It is often rather difficult to assign one “designation” or “term” to a particular migrant. There is no clear, universally agreed definition of migration. “Migrants” and “refugees” are mostly considered as separate and distinct categories. The year 2021 marked the 70th anniversary of the UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees of 28 July 1951. On 31 January 1967 was signed by the President of the UNGA the Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees. The convention was an important cornerstone in the international law protection of refugees. The devastating nature of armed conflicts, environmental disasters, and our era of increasing globalization pose serious challenges to the capacity of states and the international community as a whole to respond consistently to a resolution of long-standing migration and refugee problems. Trafficking and smuggling of people, abuse of asylum procedures, and a clear imbalance in burden – and responsibility of sharing of irregular migration and of hosting refugees are additional factors complicating the situation in which migrants and refugees’ protection has to be realized. Migration is very politicized question. There are several international conventions that have an impact on the rights of migrants and refugees. Correct implementation of these rules is crucial. The power of state to protect its security is a basic attribute of state sovereignty. The study is analyzing e.g., the UN Global Compact on Migration or the UN Global Compact on Refugees. Special attention is devoted to the critical scrutiny of the New Pact of Migration and Asylum, particularly to the principles of solidarity and shared responsibility in the framework of the EU, including the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The political salience of policy issue arenas related to the movement of people, including immigration, citizenship, and asylum, has increased in recent decades and is likely to continue to escalate for the foreseeable future, because of both real dynamics of migration flows and because of political dynamics including reactions to the Covid-19 pandemic. Existing governance regimes at the global, regional, and national levels somewhat order the migration issue arena and do much humanitarian good, but they also generate new problems and injustices. The perception of disorder in migration and citizenship are likely to continue to present challenges for liberal democracy and for international cooperation. This article outlines the contours of challenges of governing the movement of people since the end of the Cold War.

Anti-Oppressive Practices are one of the main forms of Social Work and social oriented theory and practice. Operating in the context of numerous oppressions and based on the constantly growing need for fundamental reorganization of society in all its layers, it is a practical and promising concept of the complexity of social problems within multidisciplinarity in the field of Social Work. This article focuses on the issue of using Anti-Oppressive Practices in Social Work when dealing with the progressive and very current refugee crisis.

Granting asylum is the competence of every sovereign state. However, members of the European Union have the right to transfer a part of their own powers to the EU, which is reflected in primary legal acts. Nevertheless, granting asylum is not an exclusive right of the EU, but rather a competence shared with all Member States. The EU’s area of freedom, security and justice has been regulated within the framework of the European Union non-exclusive competences, including a common policy in the field of asylum. As part of their remit, the EU authorities issue acts of secondary legislation regarding the institution of asylum, while the Court of Justice of the European Union outlines national practice in case of interpretative difficulties concerning primary and secondary legislation. Finally, the ever-changing social and migration situation, as well as newly emerging secondary legal acts, have caused a rupture in the common asylum policy of EU Member States.

The migration of Ukrainians to Poland was greatly when Ukraine gained independence. It was prompted by the internal policy of this state which made passports more accessible to the citizens. Also, applicable agreements were signed with Poland, which enabled Ukrainians to go to the Western countries in large numbers, chiefly to Poland. A dramatic increase in the migration rate was to be seen after social and political changes took place in the eastern neighbouring country, and the largest ever number of Ukrainian migrants is due to the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, and the situation in Donbas. The large number of Ukrainians coming to Poland for various reasons, such as work, study or trade-oriented tourism, has an impact on the increased number of offences. The data collected by the Central Administration of the Prison Service indicates that the proportion of Ukrainians serving sentences or remanded in custody in Poland is relatively low. It also should be noted that although our eastern border traffic has been made a great deal easier, our Border Guard refuses entry to a large number of Ukrainian citizens for various formal reasons (forged travel documents, visas, passports, stamps, etc.).

This article will elaborate and give an overview of the Turkish temporary protection regime. In 2011, when the war in Syria began, Turkey had to face the mass influx from the southeast area, bringing Turkey many Syrian refugees. By 2011 Turkey did not have sufficient regulation on temporary protection, which could deal with many upcoming refugees. In 2013 the Law of Foreigners and International Protection came into force. It was necessary to update the latest legislation on temporary protection, the 1994 Temporary Protection Regulation. Due to unification with international and European standards and to provide possibly the best services to the refugees, Turkey, in 2014, enacted a new law on asylum, migration, and temporary protection construction. Therefore, according to the Turkish Constitution and international regulations, the following article will describe the Turkish refugee law development and legal construction, temporary protection regime, and the problems that still need to be solved.

This article presents an analytical study of several asylum cases on which Czech courts issued rulings between 2007 and 2022. It focuses on exposing the ways in which asylum authorities/courts conceptually treat legal otherness on the basis of incomplete information in the practical context of asylum proceedings. It demonstrates how the judgments of Czech asylum courts deal with the legal differences of countries of origin in evidentiary interpretations of documents, such as transcripts of asylum interviews or country-of-origin information (COI), by reconstructing the conceptual frameworks in which the alterity of the origin countries’ state legal systems and customary law is embedded. It identifies particular evidentiary concepts that do not easily fit into the standard ontology of formal asylum law. In particular, Czech court rulings tend to conceptually frame unconventional legal authorities (like elders, traditional councils) as cultural entities, non-state actors, or private persons, which paradoxically disqualifies them from the ontological possibility of posing (or preventing) a threat to refugees by operating an (in)effective legal system. The article discusses the possibility of applying an alternative of legal-anthropological conceptualisation of unconventional legal authorities, focusing specifically on Afghanistan, Jordan, and Yemen.

This study treats the evacuation of children from war-afflicted Croatia, specifically from Daruvar, to the Czech Republic in the early 1990s. It was not only the children of ethnic Czechs living in Daruvar, but also all children in the war-torn region without regard to their nationality who were able to be registered for the transports hat were organized by Czech ethnic organizations – the League of Czechs and Slovaks in Yugoslavia [Svaz Čechů a Slováků v Jugoslávii] and the Czech Primary School J. A. Komenský – with the help of the government of the Czech Republic. The goal of this study is to reflect, on the occasion of the approaching thirty-year anniversary of the departure of these children from Daruvar, on the role of the Czech minority in Croatia during the period of the war, in relation to the effectuated evacuation of these children, and also upon the person of Lenka Janotová, who was the president at that time of the League of Czechs and Slovaks in Yugoslavia, which had initiated the entire operation, organized it, and who substantially ensured the smoothness of its running. It is mainly thanks to her that about 1340 children and mothers with small children were rescued from the greater township area of Daruvar, and they spent nearly five months (from September 1991 to January 1992) in Czech asylum, accompanied by teachers and other caregivers. We reflect upon this historical episode on the basis of study of source materials stored in the archive of the League of Czechs in the Republic of Croatia, and through analysis of witness narratives acquired through oral history methodology.

The text comments on the Court of Justice of the European Union judgment of 25 January 2018 in the case C-473/16, F v. Bevándorlási és Állampolgársági Hivatal. The judgment was delivered within the framework of the preliminary ruling procedure following the request from the Hungarian court - Szegedi Közigazgatási és Munkaügyi Bíróság. The judgment commented on places itself within the growing case-law of the CJEU interpreting the secondary EU legislation in asylum policies. The judgment refers to asylum claims related to sexual orientation and gender identity and specifically to controversial methods allowing for the assessment of one's sexual orientation in asylum procedure.

Azyl a ekstradycja

The article deals with the institution of asylum in which both the potential extradited person and the competent authorities of the requested state may challenge the claim contained in the application and, therefore, prevent the extradition. It contains considerations regarding the concept, essence, nature and the legal basis for the institution of asylum and the manner of eligibility by the instruments governing the rotation of extradition between countries. The article is focused on the EU’s asylum policy. It is an antidote to gaps in regulations developed on the basis of universal manners, whose aim is to create unitary standards for the right of asylum, replacing the common minimum standards for internal Member States asylum systems or the Common European Asylum System (Common European Asylum System – CEAS).

Artykuł omawia sposoby przedstawiania obrazów szpitala psychiatrycznego w powieści Samuela Becketta pt. Malone umiera. Jego celem jest analiza pozatekstowych elementów w twórczości autora oraz ich rola w krytyce genetycznej. Dodatkowo artykuł podejmuje refleksję nad pozycją i miejscem autora w krytyce genetycznej. Wyjściowym założeniem artykułu jest teza stawiana przez Iaina Baileya mówiąca o tym, że krytykę genetyczną należy uprawiać w powiązaniu z innymi teoriami jak na przykład historycyzmem. Beckett prowadził niemalże naukowe przygotowania do pisania własnych tekstów, a także dokładał starań, by poczynione obserwacje zintegrować z materiałem stanowiącym podstawę własnego dzieła. Jego rozległe notatki oraz zapiski stanowią zatem doskonałą podstawę do badań genetycznych. Pomimo obfitości materiału dokumentacyjnego obrazy zakładu psychiatrycznego ukazanego w Malone umiera (którego pierwowzorem był dubliński szpital Saint John of God) noszą bardzo niewielkie echa pierwotnych tekstów i zapisków. Znaczenie tego szpitala w biografii Becketta odgrywa więc istotną rolę dla rozumienia jego ostatecznego przedstawienia w powieści, zarówno pod względem jej zakomponowania jak i późniejszej recepcji. Z niekompletnych zapisów empirycznych doświadczeń daje się jednak odtworzyć obraz pisarza istniejącego za zasłoną własnych tekstów i po części chociaż odzyskującego istnienie wiele lat po tym, kiedy Roland Barthes ogłosił śmierć autora.

This article focuses on Samuel Beckett’s use of the asylum in his novel Malone Dies to explore the role of non-textual elements in genetic criticism (the study of a writer’s creative process through the analysis of their compositional manuscripts), as well as the function of the author in genetic analysis. Taking as its starting point Iain Bailey’s challenge to genetic critics to account for the biographical author which underpins the discipline’s study of written traces in authorial manuscripts, the article contends that genetic criticism must be used in tandem with other approaches such as historicism when studying spaces like Beckett’s asylums. Though Beckett took a scholarly approach when integrating such material into earlier work, making research notes which can be regarded as part of the genetic dossier, the asylum in Malone Dies – based on Dublin’s Saint John of God Hospital – leaves no such trail of textual breadcrumbs. Therefore, we must pay particular attention to the historical function of Saint John of God’s in order to understand how the asylum works in composition and reception. In doing so, an author existing beyond the written traces they leave behind can retake their place in a necessarily incomplete empirical field over five decades after Roland Barthes prematurely declared their death.

W dobie wciąż trwającego kryzysu migracyjnego, kiedy uregulowania międzynarodowego prawa uchodźczego mające sprostać długotrwałym skutkom tego kryzysu okazały się niewystarczające, to właśnie unormowania krajowe - konstytucyjne - mogą stanowić jeden z najlepszych środków ochrony osób uciekających przed prześladowaniem. Celem artykułu jest dokonanie analizy prawnoporównawczej prawa do azylu w Konstytucji RP i w konstytucjach wybranych państw członkowskich Unii Europejskiej oraz na tej podstawie zbadanie, w jaki sposób konstytucyjne prawo do azylu może pomóc uzyskać rzeczywistą ochronę osobom zmuszonym opuścić terytorium własnego państwa. Odróżnione zostaną międzynarodowe i krajowe regulacje prawne w zakresie dostępu do prawa do azylu. Prawo do azylu nie zostało uregulowane w żadnej powszechnie przyjętej umowie międzynarodowej, dlatego też występują istotne różnice w unormowaniu tego prawa w ustawach zasadniczych. Mimo że statystycznie azyl nie jest udzielany tak często jak inne środki ochrony międzynarodowej, to samo umieszczenie prawa do azylu w unormowaniach konstytucyjnych należy ocenić pozytywnie.

In the era of the ongoing migration crisis, when the regulations of international refugee law aimed at measure up to the long-term effects of this crisis proved to be insufficient, they are the national and constitutional norms that can be one of the best measures to protect people fleeing persecution. The purpose of the article will be to conduct a comparative law analysis of the right to asylum in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and in the constitutions of selected Member States of the European Union, and on this basis to examine how constitutional right to asylum can help obtain real protection for persons forced to leave their own territory. International and national regulations regarding access to the right of asylum will be distinguished. The right to asylum has not been regulated in any universally accepted international agreement, which is a reason why there are significant differences in the regulation of this right in the basic laws. Although statistically asylum is not granted as often as other international protection measures, the inclusion of the right to asylum in constitutional regulations should be assessed positively.
