The Euro-Mediterranean Observer for Human Rights, issued the day before yesterday, detailed report on Sweden dealing with the asylum seekers from Syria, according to the Euro-Med: "The refugees disaster is the worst in the world over the past years, which started with the beginning of the crisis in Syria in 2011, and escalated remarkably during the year 2015, especially through its impact in Europe through the flow of refugees to the European continent by sea or by land, the European countries have become in serious examination of their asylum system and their limits of humanitarian dealing with the crisis and adaptability to the challenges in line with human rights".
The Euro-Mediterranean report, which was titled "Under the Microscope: Sweden' Dealing with Crisis of Syrian Asylum Seekers" pointed out that since Sweden decided in 2013 to grant all refugees from Syria permanent residence permits (this changed lately in 2015), it bore the burden of granting this type of residence permits on Europe level after Serbia and Germany. Since the beginning of the crisis, Sweden received 103.630 asylum applications as 15% of the total refugees who arrived from Syria to Europe over the past four years.
The report which will be discussed in the European Parliament, concluded that, despite the presence of some of the problems experienced by the Swedish asylum system, and the need for improvements and modifications in order to provide better protection to refugees fleeing atrocities in Syria, especially after the recent modifications, the Swedish model in dealing with the crisis still could be adopted, at least partially, by other European countries, especially those countries that did not perform any effective contributions to deal with this global humanitarian disaster.
