Observations from UNHCR on Danish law proposal on externalization

UNHCR’s observations to the Danish government’s law proposal on the possibility to transfer asylum-seekers to asylum processing and accommodation in third countries.

05.03.2021

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has submitted our observations to the Danish government’s law proposal on transfer of asylum-seekers to asylum processing and accommodation in third countries.

The law proposal is introducing a new model, after which Denmark will no longer be carrying out the processing of an asylum-seekers request for asylum unless Denmark’s international obligations require processing in Denmark. At the same time, the law proposal introduces a new model for processing and access to complaints as well as the possibility for detention.

The implementation of the law is relying on an agreement with a third country.

UNHCR’s observations are available here.
