When Statistics Replace Rights
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: The EU’s New Pact on Migration and Asylum, entered into force in June 2026. The Asylum Procedures Regulation (APR) introduces a new crucial feature: a statistical threshold based on Eurostat data from the previous year that places applicants from countries with low asylum recognition rates into mandatory accelerated procedures. LGBTQI+ refugees are an especially vulnerable group, because many of these low-recognition countries are not safe for SOGIESC minorities.
