Abstract
In 2015 a new and more fragile type of subsidiary protection for refugees was introduced in Danish legislation. Designed to offer minimal protection for refugees fleeing generalized violence (namely Syria), the new type of refugee status is characterized by short term protection and fewer rights.
This type of subsidiary status was in detail designed to erode refugee rights and prepare the legal grounds for future deportations (in an attempt to make asylum seekers seek other destination countries in the human rights race to the bottom among EU States while still making sure that Danish legislation was not in conflict with the rulings of ECHR (Sufi & Elmi vs. UK).
This presentation will focus on the effect on the surrounding society, especially in the frame of the Scandinavian (post)welfare societies. How does the fundamental uncertainty, the non-future aspect of refugee life, affect professionals in their meetings and relations with refugees?
