UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has submitted our observations to the proposed amendments of the Finnish Aliens Act.
UNHCR welcomes the amendments to strengthen the role of the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) as the single and central determining authority and “frontloading” the asylum procedure, as well as the provision of a maximum time-period for the asylum procedure. UNHCR recommends that a definition of “a large number of third country nationals or stateless persons that simultaneously request international protection” will be included in the Proposal.
The observations are available here.
