The migration and asylum pact was approved by the EU Council. What does this mean for Poland? The pact was analysed by the Ordo Iuris Institute, indicating a serious threat to Poland's sovereignty.
The Council of the European Union in May of that year yet approved the migration and asylum pact. According to the acts establishing the pact, EU bodies will decide on what support is required for immigrants from individual countries under the alleged solidarity mechanism, which includes relocations. The Ordo Iuris Institute prepared a study on the Pact, in which (in the form of questions and answers) it points to threats to the sovereignty of the states, the paper it entails, and the ability to defend against them. The study will be presented at a press conference.
The alleged migration pact adopted by the European Union does not address the problems of illegal immigration through effective border protection, but is simply a determination to make rapid, liquid migration processes in the belief that mass migration is inevitable and has a affirmative impact on European society, economy and culture. As a result, the entry into force of the Pact will lead to a more effective legalisation of migration and an equal distribution of the burden of accepting millions of illegal immigrants between associate States under the solidarity mechanism. The intent of this study is to give the reader an overview of regulations collectively referred to as the "migration pact", as well as linking them to circumstantial Polish conditions.
Importantly, contrary to what the government and the European Commission have suggested, erstwhile the mandatory solidarity mechanics has been launched, Poland will not be able to refuse to accept relocated immigrants without the consent of the European Commission and a qualified majority in the EU Council. In addition, most of these immigrants cannot be expelled regardless of whether they are actual refugees or not:
Under global law, it will not be possible to expel displaced refugees who do not have exile status.
Most economical migrants from Africa or Muslim countries affected by relocation from the countries of confederate Europe, if they apply for asylum, cannot be returned due to the deficiency of compatible countries of origin to bring their own citizens back. As a result, by relocating 50,000 migrants to Poland during asylum procedures, The European Union expects to stay in Poland over 38 500 migrants.
There are many indications that even if relocated migrants leave for another EU countries, they will be able to be sent to Poland in readmission mode.
It will be the Commission and the Council of the EU, by majority, who will decide on the number of migrants to be relocated to Poland in a given year.
Parallel to the study on the EU migration pact, an analysis of the migration policy of the Polish government was presented.
Jerzy Kwasniewski, president of the Ordo Iuris Institute and at the same time author of the study on the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, Weronika Przebierz, manager of the Center for global Law (CPM) Ordo Iuris, and Patryk Ignaszczak, CPM analyst and author of the analysis of the migration strategy of the Polish government.
Jerzy Kwaśniewski stressed at the outset, although the alleged migration pact enters into force in 2026, but it is already breathtaking present and so it is essential to clarify its assumptions and the concrete consequences of its adoption for Poland. He besides pointed to the clear world-view declaration by the European Commission on the migration pact, favouring the phenomenon of mass immigration, and the ineffectiveness of procedures for the expulsion of migrants who were denied the right to asylum.
An crucial problem that highlights the Ordo Iuris report, which he mentioned. Jerzy Kwasniewski during the press conference is that at the time of the first calculation of the amounts of immigrants to be admitted, i.e. in 2026, Poland's argument based on the number of Ukrainians accepted will no longer count. The migration pact assumes that the amounts number on the basis of the number of asylum applications received in the erstwhile year, i.e. in this case in 2025 alternatively than in 2022-23.
However, as Patryk Ignaszczak noted, in a late published analysis of the migration strategy, the Polish government formulates any bold demands that Ordo Iuris had defended a fewer years ago. This is simply a 180 degree turn compared to what was preached a year ago by the same politicians. Therefore, the Ordo Iuris Institute will look closely at their actions, calling for a change in global law so that the right to asylum cannot be utilized instrumentally, including by hostile states and organisations.
