UNHCR published a position paper with recommendations in view of the upcoming 2025 federal election in Germany.
In their position paper, UNHCR underlines four cornerstones for an effective refugee protection:
- Firmly establishing refugee protection as a social and political value
- Strengthening international refugee law and the global system of refugee protection through international cooperation
- Continuing Germany's positive international role in refugee protection
- Implementing the reform of the European asylum system efficiently with appropriate guarantees
UNHCR recognises Germany's role in refugee protection and continues to recommend solidarity-based refugee policy.
Furthermore, UNHCR indicates the fundamental importance that Germany continues to provide political and financial support for refugee protection at a global level.
The full position paper is available in German on the UNHRC website.
