For decades, Sweden and other Scandinavian countries had generous asylum and refugee admissions policies. As the European Union adopts a more integrated approach to policies and practices, this openness may be eroded by continent-wide restrictions on humanitarian admissions.
Brita Sydhoff, Head of the International Law and Refugee Department of the Swedish Red Cross, will present the challenges to refugee protection in Scandinavia in this new context. She will focus on strategies in the United States and Europe to promote protection and maintain humanitarian admissions. This briefing is part of MPI's "Migration Policies and Processes in Europe" visitor series funded by the European Commission Delegation in Washington, D.C.
