Commission Recommendation of 23.9.2020 on legal pathways to protection in the EU: promoting resettlement, humanitarian admission and other complementary pathways

Abstract

The number of refugees and others in need of international protection is rising globally. As a result, there is a need to strengthen the Union’s capacity to fulfil its moral duty to provide effective assistance. All Member States should participate in the Union’s collective efforts to show solidarity to those in need of international protection by offering legal pathways to the Union and enhancing the protection space outside the Union.
