AB Göç Politikalarının ve Sınır Yönetiminin Güvenlikleştirilmesinde Gözetim Teknolojilerinin Rolü

Abstract

This study offers critical analysis on the role of surveillance technologies in the securitization of migration policies and the impact of such practices on the EU's international identity. The EU member states have adopted various technological instruments that have serious consequences both for the course of the EU's migration policies and its normative international identity. The findings of this research suggest that by securitizing its migration policies through new surveillance technologies, the EU may risk violating its founding norms and principles. These violations are, in turn, likely to have serious political repercussions for the global image and credibility of the EU in the years to come.

Push and back: The ripple effect of EU border externalisation from Croatia to Iran

“…Research suggests that border controls are not in line with formal external agreements and have harmful consequences (Faist, 2018) that prevent displaced people from arriving in Europe (Weber and Pickering, 2011). Pushbacks are analysed as one of the tools of border deterrents (Schindel, 2019), alongside the construction of physical border fences, the deployment of high-tech surveillance (Sadik and Kaya, 2021), the enforcement of restricted migration laws (Menjivar & Abrego, 2012), and the use of dangerous geography to harm people (Schindel, 2019). However, other scholars (Tazzioli & De Genova, 2020; Tazzioli and Stierl, 2021) suggest that border controls reinforce each other when migrants are kidnapped, seized, confined, detained and contained.…”

e-Securing the EU Borders: AI in European Integrated Border Management

“…The system is expected to be revised once again in 2022 to extend its functioning. (Sadik and Ceren, 2020). In addition, the database is at the disposal of law enforcement agencies, especially when it comes to criminal or terrorist profiles.…”

“…The data are 10 fingers' scan and photos of persons-concerned, which are kept in the database for a 5-year-period. The VIS, the authorities of the Schengen states and their consulates in third countries intercommunicate and exchange information, seeking to detect fraud, combat "visa shopping" incidents and accelerate the verification of IDs at border-check points (Sadik and Ceren, 2020). In 2021 the revised VIS was adopted by the Council, which expands the competence of the system by aggregating data for long-stay visas and residence permits (European Parliament, 2021).…”
