An eye to the Future: A constant need for a vigorous and collective advocacy of Human Rights Within these unprecedented developments, the new legislation that passed on May 8th triggered a storm of reactions by humanitarian organizations, civil society, and legal actors. In the view of the flagrant incidents at the Evros region borders during March 2020, the inhuman conditions for refugees on the Greek islands and the constant curtail of human rights guarantees, this controversial reform of the legislative framework, comes only three months after the overhaul of the Greek asylum legislation brought about by the International Protection Law 4636/2019. The unstable situation for people seeking for international protection, due to the constant legal reformations, the strict border politics under the safe umbrella of the dissemination of virus COVID-19, the EU’s refusal to open the discussion of a permanent relocation scheme from Greece and a resettlement scheme from Turkey, as the only fair and effective strategy to deal with the situation, will undoubtedly lead to a continuity of the inhuman policy of securitization of the borders and therefore, to violations of human rights. The respect and the defense of Human Rights, that stem from the Geneva Convention relating the status of Refugees, the EU Law and the international standards, constitute unfaltering high principles that need to be assured, especially in a sensitive region as Evros. HumanRights360 with its efforts, actions, and presence at the field, can and will continue to defend the legal guarantees in international protection procedures, support people who are forced to flee their country of origins.
