Reception and social rights of persons in need of international protection at European level. Study on the Reception Directive 2024/1347 and the response to the war in Ukraine
Abstract
This article takes an in-depth look at the legal and practical framework for the reception of asylum seekers and refugees in the European Union, focusing on the changes introduced by Directive 2024/1347/EU. The first section analyses the scope of the reception provisions established by this Directive, detailing the material conditions and exploring the obligation to ensure an adequate standard of living in line with EU law. It also takes a critical look at the compatibility of the current reception system with Article 24 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. In the context of the war in Ukraine, the article discusses the activation of the 2001 Temporary Protection Directive and the assistance and benefits that this legislation provides to asylum seekers. It also examines the response implemented in Spain to the massive arrival of displaced Ukrainians, with special attention to the measures adopted by the central government and implemented by the Autonomous Communities.
