Security package in focus: human rights vs. state interests in Berlin
discussion about human rights in the context of the new security package
In today's Bundestag debate, the draft law was on the agenda for the so -called "security package", which provides for far -reaching changes in migration law. In the middle of this discussion, the German Institute for Human Rights expressed concerns about the compatibility of these measures with the applicable human rights standards.
The federal government sees its draft a need to increase security in the country and to combat terrorist dangers. These measures aim to maintain the liberal-democratic basic order and peaceful coexistence in Germany. However, the draft law also carries risks to the rights of refugees and migrants.
The human rights institute emphasizes that the inviolable dignity of man, according to Article 1 of the Basic Law, applies to all, regardless of their origin or their residence status. However, this fundamental view is in conflict with some suggestions in the security package that could endanger the rights of those seeking protection. Experts fear that necessary measures for hazard can turn into an inadmissible restriction of human rights.
The security package could create a dangerous precedent that not only affects the rights of refugees, but also questions the protection of the rule of law as a whole. It is therefore essential that legal regulations respect human rights in order to protect trust in the state institutions and to promote a healthy basis for the living together of all citizens.
This topic is of great importance, not only for the directly affected refugees, but also for society as a whole. Reflection on dealing with certainty and human rights could have long -term effects on the social climate and political discourse on migration in Germany In summary, today's exchange in the Bundestag is an important and necessary step to preserve the balance between internal security and human rights. It remains to be hoped that the legislators will take the voice of human rights organizations seriously and find ways to ensure the security of the country without undermining the fundamental rights of all people.
