Der Familiennachzug zu Drittstaatsangehörigen

Abstract

With the initial two-year suspension of family reunification for beneficiaries of subsidiary protection in 2016, their wives and children in crisis areas as well as unaccompanied minors suffered cuts in their right to family. Embedded in this political situation, the author examines the relevant national and international legal sources with regard to family, women’s, and minors’ rights and discusses the recitals of limiting family reunification, taking into account state sovereignty. The work concludes with a legal assessment and balancing of interests using the example of the suspension of family reunification and opens the view for affected-oriented reunification regulations.
