Temporary asylum restrictions at borders during migration instrumentalization
The act introduces the possibility of temporarily suspending the acceptance of international protection applications at selected sections of Poland's border. This applies when another state deliberately organizes illegal border crossings, creating security threats. The changes also expand the grounds for denying protection to individuals posing risks.
Key points
The government can block asylum applications for 60 days at specific border sections, with Parliament able to extend this by another 60 days if the threat persists.
Border Guard will reject protection requests from most foreigners in restricted border areas – exceptions include unaccompanied minors, pregnant women, elderly or sick persons, and those facing serious harm in their home country.
Individuals who crossed the border using violence in cooperation with others cannot benefit from exceptions – their applications will be rejected.
New provisions define 'instrumentalization' as actions by neighboring states or other entities aimed at organizing illegal border crossings, particularly involving violence or destruction of infrastructure.
Expanded grounds for denying international protection now include persons convicted of particularly serious crimes and those posing threats to security or society of the state where they are present.
