2019 European Union Asylum Reform

The 2019 EU asylum reform aimed to improve how Europe manages migration, especially during crises. It introduced a system where member countries share the responsibility for asylum seekers fairly, based on factors like population and wealth, rather than leaving it mostly to frontline states. The reform also set clearer rules for border security, faster procedures for evaluating asylum claims, and processes to return those whose applications are denied. Overall, it seeks a more balanced, efficient, and humane approach to handling asylum requests across the European Union.
