This book introduces the reader to the Common European Asylum
System (CEAS), its background, its law and policy documents as well
as its current state and future direction. The CEAS comprises the
European Union's legislation and policy on asylum. Its objective is
to attain similar sets of procedures and protection for asylum
seekers and refugees in the EU Member States. To assess the current
developments of the CEAS, the author took the conclusions of the
European Council meeting of Tampere as a yardstick. The
implementation of the EU's asylum legislation in practice was also
evaluated. For that purpose the implication of the CEAS at the
national level had to be analyzed in at least one of the EU Member
States. Slovakia, a new Member State, was chosen as an example
because of its geographical position at the external border of the
EU and the high number of asylum applicants within its borders. The
author analyzes asylum law at two levels: EU law and national law
against the background of international law (the 1951 Geneva
Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees). The Hague
Programme, other policy instruments and the Treaty establishing a
Constitution for Europe are also dealt with from an asylum
perspective. Finally, a well-balanced critique of the CEAS is
given, providing views and expectations concerning its future
direction. This book is important for all those who deal with
asylum matters, such as practitioners, parliamentarians and NGOs.
It serves as a reference for further discussions and studies in the
context of the EU, and it will also be useful as a reference work
for further EU enlargement and the development of the asylum
system. Olga Ferguson Sidorenko is currently employed as an
Associate Legal Officer at the International Criminal Tribunal for
the Former Yugoslavia. She obtained her law degree in 1998 at the
Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, and her doctorate in
2006 at the Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, the Netherlands. She
lectured in International Law at the Comenius University and in EU
Law at the Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam and the University of
Economics Bratislava.
