Temporary Protection in 2022: Repatriation as a Durable Solution for Ukrainian Citizens?
In the project, the principal researceh Enes Zaimović addresses issues related to the duration of (temporary) protection and the legal implications related to its termination. Member States have granted temporary protection status to an unprecedented number of persons on their territories. The researcher asks whether the underlying aim and purpose of temporary protection, i.e. the (also involuntary) return of Ukrainian refugees, can stand up in the light of current EU and human rights law.
