Abstract

HELLMAN, JACQUELINE. An approach towards the judgment rendered by the Court of Justice of the European Union on September 6, 2017 regarding the European Immigration Crisis. Rev. Derecho Estado [online]. 2020, n.46, pp.85-106. ISSN 0122-9893.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01229893.n46.04.

Migrations flows are not a brand-new phenomenon. Nonetheless, in these last years, the findings are worrying. In fact, at the end of the year 2016, a record was reached as the number of displaced people amounted to 65.6 million. In this connection, it must be stressed that the European continent has been particularly affected by this crisis. Bearing this in mind, we have to mention that some Member States of the European Union have adopted their own strategies, which -in some occasions- have deviated far from the position imposed by the mentioned international organization. At this juncture, it is relevant to examine the approach that the Court of Justice of the European Union has had in one particular case, which resulted in the long-awaited judgment rendered on September 6, 2017.

Keywords : Relocation system; principle of solidarity; migratory movements; Court of Justice of the European Union.
