Abstract
Migration is a wicked issue that the European Union (EU) aims to address through the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. Despite EU’s intention to create a humane and sustainable common migration system, the Pact has received criticism from NGOs and scholars concerning violations of migrants' rights. This criticism highlights gaps between policy and practice. Using a theoretical framework, this thesis investigates the New Pact on Migration and Asylum’s effectiveness. After the explanation of the New Pact and its criticism, significant differences between the Pact's objectives and actual policy execution are identified using the framework and classified into either the implementation or efficacy gap. Additionally, this thesis proposes three sub-categories: (1.) subjectivity, (2.) dissonance with reality and (3.) intention vs. outcome. These sub-categories helped creating recommendations for the EU to bridge the gap between theory and practice regarding the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. The proposed recommendations include to reduce subjectivity and ambiguity in policies as much as possible; provide financial support with sufficient and appropriate monitoring; employ a rights centred approach; and carry out several meantime impact assessments by independent oversight bodies. These recommendations can help policymakers in the EU to promote transparency, accountability, and responsiveness, which would ultimately lead to creating a common, humane, and sustainable migration system that adheres to human rights.
