Abstract

Artificially created wave of irregular migrants at the Polish-Belarus is considered as one of the greatest challenges for EU member states, in this case Poland, in terms of border management (as part of Integrated Border Management), national and EU security and finally fundamental human rights and safety of migrants that are attempting to cross the border in a illegal manner. The article analyzes the legal issues that have appeared during the practice of returning irregular migrants, who declare the intent to apply for international protection in Poland (practice of so-called pushbacks).
