| Title | Out of the Frying Pan into Despair: Family Reunification Problems of Refugees |
| Summary | The right to family life has an important place in European human rights law and refugee law. It is hard for refugees to settle their lives without having their families, as they need support from them. They are concerned about their family members left behind in their home country, even when they have safety and protection in Europe. The issue gets even more sensitive for separated children who need the support of their families; without their families, they lack safety and support. However, the lack of certain family definitions, except the nuclear family which is defined (spouse and children), causes problems in the reunification process. The right to a family life cannot be completely provided to the extended family members by the states in their sovereign powers. This thesis examines the family reunification problems of refugees with a focus on return the scope of the family unit (analyzing the family definition under various concepts together with related problems such as length, immigration tools and document requirements). The objective of this thesis is to provide solutions to the family reunification problems by interpreting the various case-laws (mainly European Court of Human Rights), legislation and states’ implementations. |
