| Popis | This paper examines the implications of the unintended consequences of temporary protection mechanisms in mass influx situations within the European Union and Latin American contexts. It argues that the misuse of those mechanisms disrupts the delicate balance between integration and return in what scholars term “refugee time”: integration over time within the host community (“time as attachment”) and the potential return to the home country once conditions improve (“time as a deadline”). The excessive reliance on temporary mechanisms, which often become prolonged or even indefinite, can leave refugees in a situation of “permanent temporariness”, unable to fully integrate or safely return. Drawing from socio-legal analysis, this paper reviews key theoretical contributions to establish a conceptual foundation for the study of refugees’ times and their delicate balance. It then compares the temporary protection policies in the European Union for Ukrainian refugees with those in Latin America for Venezuelans, exploring the distinct regional approaches and evaluating the effectiveness and limitations of each in supporting displaced populations. Finally, the paper proposes policy recommendations to address the unintended consequences of temporary protection. It advocates for aligning these practices more closely with the international refugee protection framework to reduce the precariousness of life in exile and foster durable, sustainable solutions for displaced individuals. |
