“Altmaiers proposal is a Nebelkerze”

What you should do with delinquent become refugees? Kanzleramtschef Peter Altmaier has proposed that refugees in third countries to deport. Attorney Heiko Habbe thinks this is impractical.

Deutsche Welle: Who as a refugee of a serious criminal Offence commits can be shown to be. This means actually the deportation to the home country. In reality, however, that many people in spite of their expulsion, and Germany will not leave. Why does the Return in practice often do not?

Heiko Habbe: The difficulty is very often the case that papers are missing. If I from war zones and crisis areas to flee to my skin to save, I usually go no longer to the municipal office to get a passport. In the States in the Maghreb, i.e. Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, is lately reported, that the Countries of origin for the people not more. This may have its reason in it, just that no valid papers. Whenever the identity is unclear, says the state of destination: Well, if we do not know whether he belongs to us, why should we then take?

At this point, the proposal of Kanzleramtschef Peter Altmaier grab. His solution: Safe third countries, without war, torture and the death penalty should delinquent become refugees, if the return to the country of origin is not possible, such as the Turkey. How does such an agreement?

I do not think that the proper way to social problems through deportations to solve. In practice, it works but only if the other state is willing, also foreign citizens. This willingness is in an international agreement sealed. There is such a Readmission agreement with Turkey, from the middle of this year should enter into force. Therein to be conditions to which the third country – in this case, the Turkey – refugees absorbs.

What conditions are that?

The Readmission agreement refers only to third-country nationals directly from Turkey to Europe entered the country. On entry over Italy, Turkey would be not obliged to buy anything.

This means that if a refugee is detectable over the Turkey entered, the deportation is nothing in the way.

If I have someone already because of unknown identity in his home country, can not get rid of, then I’ll very likely certainly not in a third country los. Because the third state is even more right in saying: If you don’t even know who that is and not to prove to you that our country has traveled – then we see no reason to accept. Against the Background of Peter Altmaiers suggest is actually a Nebelkerze. He ultimately aims, an applied political discussion to calm down.

Pro Asyl also criticised that Turkey was not a “safe state”. What conditions must a state meet, so that the Federal government refugees there out?

If a government people abschiebt a legitimate Schutzinteresse, then accesses the Geneva Convention. This States that I am someone who does not then return (“refouler” may, where danger threatens. I allowed it to not be in a Situation where he from one state to another is passed on could be to end up back in the war zone to land. Turkey applies for example to Syrians, not the Geneva Convention. That is to say, I will be in Germany recognised refugees, in part, not in the Turkey out can.

What has the Turkish government of people, in Germany, the delinquent?

In the agreement, the EU-Turkey negotiations, as consideration in, for example, the visa Liberalisation forward. Also the EU membership of Turkey is again on the advice Desk. This agreement focuses on is not important, offenders are to be deported and deport. Rather, it is that people in Europe no residency, but about Turkey entered the country, be deported. The question of a possible delinquency has only Altmaier.

How would you rate Altmaiers proposal against this Background, politically?

We focus here on a small group of people who, as asylum seekers who entered and for which no legitimate protective concerns present. In addition, we have in which to do that, you delinquent. This is a tiny part of those of us in the past year have reached. Against the Background, I find the current discussion extremely unhappy. Yes, for this group, we also need a response. But above all, we need to talk about how we Flüchtlingsaufnahme human dignity and the Integration can advance. Because if we have the people here to offer a future, then we avoid long term social problems.
