The European Union is set to vote on a proposal to create 'return hubs' for migrants, which aims to streamline the process of returning individuals who do not qualify for asylum.
Human rights organizations have expressed significant concerns that this initiative could lead to asylum seekers falling into 'legal black holes' outside EU jurisdiction.
The implications of these hubs may affect the overall architecture of migration management in Europe, potentially altering the capacity and throughput of existing systems.
