In this lesson, we are going to discuss the Dublin system and the rules for determining the EU Member State responsible for deciding on a particular application for international protection. 

Homework before the lesson:

For the upcoming session, please prepare answers to the following questions. You do not need to submit your answers in writing in advance, but you will use them during the class discussion.

If you are from a European Union country: Try to find the latest statistics on the application of the Dublin III Regulation (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32013R0604&qid=1666944276450) in your respective country. How many requests under this Regulation have been sent by your State to another Member State? How many have been received by your State? Is your country more likely to be a country that is required by other countries to accept applicants on their territory under the Dublin III Regulation? Or is it a country that finds other states' jurisdiction rather than its own? Can you explain why that is?

If you are not from a European Union country: Does your respective country apply the Dublin III Regulation (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32013R0604&qid=1666944276450)? Does your State have any other means of declaring its lack of jurisdiction over an application for international protection? If so, how does this process work?
