How do the decreases in crossings along different routes compare, and what are the most active routes currently?

The significant drop in Western Balkans crossings is attributed to increased border enforcement by Balkan countries, harsh winter conditions hindering travel, and growing awareness of human rights violations along the route. Geopolitical factors, such as the regime change in Syria leading to a 17% decrease in asylum applications in 2024, also contributed.

How did the decrease in illegal crossings vary across different migration routes into Europe?

Multiple factors contributed to the decline in illegal crossings, including increased border surveillance by Balkan countries, harsh winter conditions, and awareness campaigns highlighting human rights violations. Geopolitical shifts, such as the regime change in Syria (leading to a 17% decrease in asylum applications in 2024), also played a role. However, a potential increase in crossings is anticipated towards the end of summer and in autumn.

What evidence of human rights violations at EU borders has been uncovered, and what are the immediate implications?

The Council of Europe's human rights commissioner, Michael O'Flaherty, has found evidence of asylum seekers being forcibly expelled at EU borders, particularly in Poland and Greece. This violates international law and the right to claim asylum, despite the relatively low number of irregular border crossings (around 17,000 in 2024).
