- Summary
- The purpose of this report is to help shed light on the conditions for asylum seekers in Greece, so that states participating in the "Dublin cooperation" may have a better basis on which to determine whether, under present circumstances, they want, or can, carry out the Dublin II Regulation with regard to Greece. Based on our investigations we strongly caution against carrying out the Regulation until Greek authorities have made extensive reforms of the asylum system, until there are sufficient indications that legal obligations are being fulfilled in practice. The conclusions of the report are founded on both the organizations' own fact-finding mission to Greece in March 2008 and other sources concerning the treatment of asylum seekers in Greece.
