“Qual è la forma dell’acqua?” Il diritto di asilo e la lista europea dei Paesi di origine sicuri

ABSTRACT (ENG) This paper analyzes the transformation of the right to asylum in the European Union through the lens of the reform of Regulation 2024/1348 (the so-called Asylum Procedures Regulation) and Regulations 463 and 464 of 2026, which anticipate the entry into force of the outsourcing provisions. In this context, the notion of a safe country takes on a central role, as evidenced by recent case law on the notions of a safe country of origin and a safe third country. This paper examines the 2026 changes to the Pact, in which special procedures, the accelerated procedure, and the border procedure have seen a significant expansion compared to the previous legislation, and explains them as an attempt to undermine the limits on outsourcing imposed by case law.
