MIGRANT LIVES | When a Migrant Is Sent to a Third Country

Sending migrants to a third country—known as border outsourcing—has become one of the most debated proposals in current migration policy.

​What does it consist of?

A country transfers asylum seekers or irregular migrants to a third state so that it processes their applications or hosts them temporarily or permanently, in exchange for financial compensation or bilateral agreements.

​The debate in two views:

  • ​In favor: Proponents argue that it discourages human trafficking networks, reduces pressure on local reception systems, and speeds up administrative procedures.
  • Against: Human rights organizations and legal experts warn of the risk of violating the principle of non-refoulement (non-refoulement), the lack of procedural guarantees, and precarious conditions in recipient countries.

​Beyond political calculations, the model raises a fundamental question: is it a pragmatic solution to a global challenge or a way of shifting migration responsibility to third parties?
