Refugee and human rights organisations across Europe are jointly calling on the EU to scrap key proposals for a common European asylum policy.
Plans to designate certain countries as "safe countries of origin" or "safe third countries," and the absence of a guaranteed right for all asylum seekers to remain in a country of asylum pending an appeal, violate EU Member States' international obligations, claim the groups.
