On 10 April 2024 the European Parliament adopted the package of ten legislative instruments, which partly make up the so-called New Pact on Migration and Asylum and which will reform the existing EU migration and asylum law framework. The aim of this lecture is to discuss the main novelties of the adopted acts, with a particular focus on border and screening procedures,
instrumentalization of migrants and further externalization of EU migration and asylum policies. It will be considered whether the newly adopted acts respond to the current challenges and whether they will manage to ensure efficient and human rights-compliant practices.
