In response to the growing need for the protection of people fleeing conflicts and persecution, Parliament has passed a new Refugee Law that promises to transform the reception system. The legislation expands access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and legal assistance, and establishes clear protocols for processing asylum applications. During parliamentary sessions, testimonies from human rights experts and representatives of international organizations highlighted the importance of ensuring dignified treatment for those seeking protection.

The law includes monitoring and evaluation mechanisms based on international standards, allowing for oversight of the implementation of the new procedures. Among its innovations are the digitalization of forms and the streamlining of responses to applications, reducing bureaucracy and wait times for refugees. Authorities expect this measure to not only improve the quality of life for those under protection but also facilitate their effective integration into society.

Experts emphasize that this legislative progress could set a precedent in the region, encouraging other countries to review and modernize their protection systems. However, they stress the need for continuous training and the implementation of periodic audits to ensure that the benefits are applied equitably and transparently over time.
