UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has submitted our observations to the proposed amendments of the Finnish Aliens Act.
The proposal has a number of objectives. Firstly, it seeks to improve the efficiency of the asylum procedure and ensure that rejected asylum-seekers are expelled. Secondly, the proposal aims to promote the use of alternatives to detention of asylum-seekers and to limit the use of detention of children and persons with specific vulnerabilities.
The observations are available here.
