Inter­na­tio­nal Support of Conscien­tious Objec­tors and Deserters

ДАВЛЕНИЕ НА ВОЕННООБЯЗАННЫХ ИЗ УКРАИНЫ

(15.08.2024) Несколько дней назад в прессе появилась информация о том, что украинским мужчинам призывного возраста не будут выдавать проездные документы (эрзац-паспорта) для иностранцев. Connection e.V. и PRO ASYL призывали к этому еще в мае этого года. Министерство труда, интеграции, молодежи и социальных дел земли Гессен (нем. Hessische Ministerium für Arbeit, Integration, Jugend und Soziales, HMAIJS) заявило, что для тех, кого это касается, допустимо поехать в Украину для получения паспорта и выполнения воинской обязанности. Как же следует понимать это заявление?

Ukrainian draftees under pressure

(15.08.2024) A few days ago, the press reported that Ukrainian men of military service age will not be issued travel documents for foreigners. Connection e.V. and PRO ASYL had called for this in May 2024. The Ministry of Social Affairs in the German county Hesse had refused to issue travel documents, stating that it was reasonable to expect those affected to travel to Ukraine to obtain a passport and fulfil their military service obligations. How should this be assessed?

Two years after the start of the war: PRO ASYL and Connection e.V. criticise asylum rejections of Russian refusers

(21.02.2024) Two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) continues to reject Russian refusers and obliges them to return to Russia. Connection e.V. and PRO ASYL are alarmed by the BAMF’s reasoning, which ignores the risk for Russian refusers of being recruited in a war that violates international law.

What are the chances of protection and asylum?

(20.02.2024) Connection e.V. and PRO ASYL have repeatedly called for a change in the decision-making practice of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) with regard to deserters and military draft evaders, especially those from Russia. In an analysis published a year ago, it was stated that deserters from Russia could be granted protection, but not the vast majority of military draft evaders who had already evaded recruitment in Russia. The government repeatedly pointed out that the BAMF’s decision-making practice should be reviewed.
