The Performance of the European Union regarding the Acceptance and Support of Immigrants

Several factors contribute to migration, including an unfavorable economic situation, continuing education, work, political and cultural issues, security concerns, war, etc. On July 20, 2001, the European Union regulations formed the legal basis of protection in the form of a directive of the European Council regarding the standards concerning people who have been forced to leave their country to provide support and acceptance to people who have come to the member states. The directive requires member countries to take the necessary steps to allow people to stay. At the same time, if the situation is only temporary, this circular suggests rules and minimums to create a safe environment for immigrants.

When controlling immigration, the relationship between governments and immigrants is considered. As national sovereigns, governments have the right to protect any of their interests, but discrimination and racism against immigrants are illegal under international law, especially international human rights law. There are two primary types of support available to immigrants. In the first instance (diplomatic support), it is described as support from the relevant government; in the second instance (treaties and human rights instruments), it is considered that people should have rights regardless of the situation, both in their home country and abroad.

The primary purpose of this study was to assist immigrants in international law, with a focus on the performance of the European Union. A descriptive-analytical method was used in this study. Thus, it should be noted that according to the Court of Human Rights, migrations are not always approved depending on the laws and conditions of each country.
