The enforcement problems of the refugee's right to family reunification in the EU

The migration crisis has become an important factor in the political processes, regionalization and development of European integration. The author analyzes the enforcement problems of the right to family reunification of refugees in the European Union law. The study focuses on the current migration challenges and the contradictions in the migration policy faced by the modern EU member countries, including the refugees’ right to be reunited with their families. The status of refugees is analyzed in the context of the above-mentioned right. The analysis demonstrates that several members of the European Union neglect the pan-European views on this issue. At the same time, the increase in the number of refugees encouraged EU countries to use restrictive measures, in particular pose restrictions on family reunification. The author suggests that liberal, conservative and selective scenarios can take place in this regard.
