Myria, the Federal Migration Centre, has published a new thematic booklet as part of its annual report "Migration in figures and rights 2026", focusing on international protection. The publication presents figures on applications for international protection in Belgium and the decisions taken by the authorities. It also examines secondary movements of refugees and asylum seekers between EU Member States, as well as the measures introduced at Belgian and EU level to prevent them. Myria analyses these developments and raises concerns about the gradual weakening of procedural safeguards and protection standards.
