The recently adopted amendments to the Danish Aliens Act respond to the expressly declared intent to stop people seeking asylum in Denmark. The national government intends to reach this goal by handing the whole international protection processing over faraway third countries, neglecting its obligations in the field of human rights, migration and asylum. This contribution first explores the peculiar migration and asylum system in place in the country, which is not bound to almost the entire EU legislation on the matter. Second, it offers an overview of the main features of this new, highly controversial, law.

Abstract
The recently adopted amendments to the Danish Aliens Act respond to the expressly declared intent to stop people seeking asylum in Denmark. The national government intends to reach this goal by handing the whole international protection processing over faraway third countries, neglecting its obligations in the field of human rights, migration and asylum. This contribution first explores the peculiar migration and asylum system in place in the country, which is not bound to almost the entire EU legislation on the matter. Second, it offers an overview of the main features of this new, highly controversial, law.File in questo prodotto:
