Abstract

In the last five years armed conflict situations in different countries of the African continent and the Middle East has brought an influx of refugees to the old continent. This influx was not so high since the Second World War. As accessing legally to European soil is not possible, those refugees fleeing persecution and war are forced to make a trip that involves a high cost to their lives, their physical and mental integrity and, even their dignity. The purpose of this work is to delve into two initiatives that are currently underway within the European Union and that, if approved, they could allow legal and secure access to Europe for a significant number of people requiring international protection. These initiatives are the European humanitarian visa and the Proposal for a Regulation establishing a Union Resettlement Framework. We will see if the States are up to the principles and values that preside over the organization of which they are members.
