On 8 June at 1 p.m. (CET), the Centre for Research on Law and Hybrid Threats will host the webinar ‘The Hybrid Threats Narrative in Migration Debates: A Human Rights Analysis,’ presented by Ms. Joanna Grygiel-Zasada.
About the webinar: Migration pressure has increasingly been framed as a destabilisation strategy targeting the European Union. The portrayal of the instrumentalisation of migration by neighbouring countries as a hybrid threat is often used to justify restrictions on migrants’ fundamental rights, including the temporary suspension of the right to asylum, in the name of safeguarding state security and stability.
