Non-governmental organizations are voicing concerns that the newly agreed-upon European Union migration pact will lead to more detentions of migrants, including vulnerable individuals and children. Groups like Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, and Oxfam Intermón fear the legislation prioritizes detention centers and restricts access to asylum. They argue the pact weakens guarantees for asylum seekers and could disproportionately affect those most in need of protection. The organizations believe the new rules will facilitate the use of closed or detention centers, even for minors and individuals in vulnerable situations. Critics contend the agreement shifts the focus from humanitarian aid and protection to border control and containment. These groups are calling for greater safeguards to ensure the rights of migrants and asylum seekers are respected within the EU.
