Finlands beslut nyligen att stegvis st\u00e4nga alla sina gr\u00e4ns\u00f6verg\u00e5ngar i \u00f6ster har v\u00e4ckt stort intresse i Finland<\/a> och utomlands<\/a>. St\u00e4ngningarna verkade pl\u00f6tsliga, men Finlands svar p\u00e5 \u00f6kningen av asyls\u00f6kande vid gr\u00e4nsen till Ryssland, som drevs av anklagelser om att Ryssland driver asyls\u00f6kande mot gr\u00e4nsen<\/a>, \u00e4r inte ov\u00e4ntad och \u00f6verensst\u00e4mmer med den finska gr\u00e4nspolitiken under b\u00e5de den nuvarande och tidigare regeringar. Det finska svaret \u00f6verensst\u00e4mmer ocks\u00e5 med andra rika staters anstr\u00e4ngningar att f\u00f6rsv\u00e5ra och neka tilltr\u00e4de till territorium och asyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situationen vid Finlands \u00f6stra gr\u00e4ns utvecklades snabbt. P\u00e5 18 november 2023<\/a> Finland st\u00e4ngde fyra syd\u00f6stra gr\u00e4ns\u00f6verg\u00e5ngar och begr\u00e4nsade asylans\u00f6kningarna till tv\u00e5 gr\u00e4ns\u00f6verg\u00e5ngar l\u00e4ngre norrut. Av 24 november<\/a> Endast ett gr\u00e4ns\u00f6verg\u00e5ngsst\u00e4lle vid den \u00f6stra gr\u00e4nsen, Raja-Jooseppi i finska Lappland, f\u00f6rblev \u00f6ppet. Det meddelades ocks\u00e5 att alla som anl\u00e4nder utan n\u00f6dv\u00e4ndiga handlingar vid den \u00f6stra gr\u00e4nsen skulle behandlas vid registreringscentra<\/a>, d\u00e4r de skulle h\u00e5llas kvar tills deras registrering slutf\u00f6rts. Dessa centrum kommer troligen att ligga i Ule\u00e5borg i norra Finland och i Joutseno i syd\u00f6stra Finland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

P\u00e5 28 november<\/a> meddelade den finska regeringen att det sista gr\u00e4ns\u00f6verg\u00e5ngsst\u00e4llet skulle st\u00e4ngas fr\u00e5n och med den 30 november och att asylans\u00f6kningar endast skulle kunna l\u00e4mnas in via flyg och b\u00e5t. Den f\u00f6rsta omg\u00e5ngen gr\u00e4nsst\u00e4ngningar skulle g\u00e4lla i tre m\u00e5nader, den andra omg\u00e5ngen i en m\u00e5nad och den fullst\u00e4ndiga st\u00e4ngningen skulle inledningsvis g\u00e4lla i tv\u00e5 veckor. Frontex, den europeiska gr\u00e4ns- och kustbevakningsbyr\u00e5n med uppgift att f\u00f6rvalta EU:s yttre gr\u00e4nser, har f\u00f6rs\u00e5g Finland med personal och annan utrustning \"f\u00f6r att st\u00e4rka Finlands gr\u00e4nskontrollverksamhet<\/a>. Frontex roll i samband med pushbacks vid gr\u00e4nserna och andra kr\u00e4nkningar av de m\u00e4nskliga r\u00e4ttigheterna \u00e4r v\u00e4ldokumenterad<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St\u00e4ngningen av gr\u00e4nserna och de nya arrangemangen f\u00f6r asylmottagning \u00e4r ett svar p\u00e5 en \u00d6kning av antalet migranter som anl\u00e4nder till Finlands \u00f6stra gr\u00e4ns och som saknar n\u00f6dv\u00e4ndiga rese- och\/eller identitetshandlingar.<\/a>. Under f\u00f6rsta halvan av november rapporterade den finska gr\u00e4nsbevakningen 415 ankomster utan n\u00f6dv\u00e4ndiga dokument, vilket \u00e4r betydligt fler \u00e4n de 32 som registrerades i oktober, 13 i september, 12 i augusti och 15 i juli. Ingen annan m\u00e5nad under 2023 hade fler \u00e4n 10 s\u00e5dana ankomster. Dessa siffror verkar l\u00e5ga j\u00e4mf\u00f6rt med siffrorna vid andra av EU:s yttre gr\u00e4nser, men i det finska sammanhanget \u00e4r \u00e4ven j\u00e4mf\u00f6relsevis sm\u00e5 antal pappersl\u00f6sa ankomster ovanliga. \u00c4ven under massinvandringen av tv\u00e5ngsmigranter till Europa 2015-2016, d\u00e5 Finland tog emot 32 345 asyls\u00f6kande bara under 2015, antalet sj\u00f6nk sedan avsev\u00e4rt under 2016 till 5 605 och har aldrig \u00e5terg\u00e5tt till 2016 \u00e5rs niv\u00e5er.<\/a>. Finland har dock nyligen tagit emot ett betydande antal flyktingar fr\u00e5n Ukraina, bevilja uppeh\u00e5llstillst\u00e5nd p\u00e5 grundval av tillf\u00e4lligt skydd till cirka 45 000 ukrainare 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finlands \u00f6verg\u00e5ng till en mer restriktiv gr\u00e4nspolitik \u00e4r en relativt ny utveckling. Efter den hybridattacker och humanit\u00e4r katastrof vid gr\u00e4nsen mellan Polen och Vitryssland sommaren 2021<\/a>byggde Polen ett 186 kilometer l\u00e5ngt gr\u00e4nsst\u00e4ngsel, bland andra restriktiva \u00e5tg\u00e4rder. Gr\u00e4nsbevakningsv\u00e4sendets riskanalysenhet ans\u00e5g i slutet av 2021 att inga liknande \u00e5tg\u00e4rder beh\u00f6vdes vid gr\u00e4nsen mellan Finland och Ryssland, med h\u00e4nvisning till kostnadssk\u00e4l<\/a>. 2021 Finlands baltiska grannl\u00e4nder Lettland och Litauen<\/a> ut\u00f6kat byggande av st\u00e4ngsel l\u00e4ngs sina yttre gr\u00e4nser, och Estland<\/a> tillk\u00e4nnagav liknande planer. Finlands beslut att b\u00f6rja bygga sitt eget gr\u00e4nsst\u00e4ngsel kom senare, efter den fullskaliga ryska invasionen av Ukraina i februari 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det f\u00f6reslagna finska st\u00e4ngslet var tillk\u00e4nnagiven i oktober 2022<\/a>, baserat p\u00e5 ett f\u00f6rslag fr\u00e5n den finska gr\u00e4nsbevakningen. F\u00f6rslaget fick st\u00f6d av flera partier i den finska riksdagen och innebar att cirka 200 kilometer st\u00e4ngsel skulle byggas l\u00e4ngs delar av gr\u00e4nsen mellan Finland och Ryssland, fr\u00e4mst i sydost, vilket motsvarar cirka 15 procent av gr\u00e4nsens totala l\u00e4ngd. Till skillnad fr\u00e5n andra st\u00e4ngsel som byggts i regionen, som uppf\u00f6rdes snabbt i samband med ett stort antal ankomster, ber\u00e4knas Finlands st\u00e4ngselprojekt ta tre till fyra \u00e5r att slutf\u00f6ra. Ett 2,8 kilometer l\u00e5ngt pilotst\u00e4ngsel f\u00e4rdigst\u00e4lldes sommaren 2023, och n\u00e4sta steg i byggandet \u00e4r planerat till vintern 2024. Den uppskattade kostnaden f\u00f6r st\u00e4ngslet under hela byggtiden \u00e4r 380 miljoner euro, vilket inkluderar material- och byggkostnaderna f\u00f6r st\u00e4ngslet, v\u00e4gen och \u00f6vervakningssystemet. Gr\u00e4nsbevakningsv\u00e4sendet tillhandah\u00e5ller detaljerad information om st\u00e4ngslet och byggnadsarbetena p\u00e5 sin webbplats<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tillk\u00e4nnagivandet av st\u00e4ngselplanen f\u00f6regicks av en viktig \u00e4ndring i den finska gr\u00e4nsbevakningslagen, som tr\u00e4dde i kraft i juli 2022, och som har varit avg\u00f6rande f\u00f6r den p\u00e5g\u00e5ende finska insatsen vid den \u00f6stra gr\u00e4nsen. Den \u00e4ndrad lag om gr\u00e4nsbevakning<\/a> f\u00f6reskriver nu att asylans\u00f6kningar skall centraliseras till s\u00e4rskilt utsedda platser vid den finska gr\u00e4nsen. F\u00f6rslaget \u00e5tf\u00f6ljdes av \u00e4ndringar av lagen om befogenheter vid n\u00f6dsituationer<\/a> att f\u00f6rbereda sig f\u00f6r olika hybridhot. Gr\u00e4nsbevakningslagen till\u00e5ter nu att asylans\u00f6kningar centraliseras n\u00e4r det \u00e4r n\u00f6dv\u00e4ndigt f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rhindra ett allvarligt hot mot allm\u00e4n ordning, nationell s\u00e4kerhet eller folkh\u00e4lsa, vilket kan inkludera situationer d\u00e4r det finnsett exceptionellt stort antal invandrare under en kort tidsperiod eller instrumentalisering av migration av en stat eller n\u00e5gon annan part<\/a>'.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petteri Orpos nuvarande h\u00f6gerregering, som tilltr\u00e4dde i juni 2023, har varit tydlig med att Den kommer endast att uppfylla sina internationella r\u00e4ttsliga f\u00f6rpliktelser i fr\u00e5ga om flyktingar och m\u00e4nskliga r\u00e4ttigheter till den allra l\u00e4gsta niv\u00e5 som kr\u00e4vs.<\/a>. Dess regeringsprogram<\/a>, som utf\u00e4rdades i juni 2023, inneh\u00f6ll f\u00f6r\u00e4ndringar som en \u00f6verg\u00e5ng till mer tillf\u00e4lliga former av skydd f\u00f6r alla flyktingar, anv\u00e4ndning av mer p\u00e5skyndade asylf\u00f6rfaranden och en minskning av Finlands humanit\u00e4ra mottagande fr\u00e5n 1 050 till 500 platser. Noterbart \u00e4r dock att b\u00e5de tillk\u00e4nnagivandet av st\u00e4ngselplanen och \u00e4ndringarna i gr\u00e4nsbevakningslagen och beredskapslagen kom under den tidigare center-v\u00e4nsterregeringen, som leddes av Sanna Marin. Finlands nuvarande politik \u00e5tnjuter konsensus \u00f6ver partigr\u00e4nserna, liksom starkt st\u00f6d fr\u00e5n allm\u00e4nheten<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finlands politik under en rad olika regeringar ger upphov till allvarliga farh\u00e5gor n\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller m\u00e4nskliga r\u00e4ttigheter och tillg\u00e5ng till asyl. Att f\u00f6lja den v\u00e4g som m\u00e5nga andra EU-l\u00e4nder, och andra l\u00e4nder som Australien och USA, har g\u00e5tt f\u00f6re dem<\/a>Finland har valt en strategi som bygger p\u00e5 avskr\u00e4ckning genom att f\u00f6rhindra inresa och genom att frustrera och neka tillg\u00e5ng till asyl. Finland har \u00e4nnu inte engagerat sig i v\u00e5ldsamma framst\u00f6tar och expansiv anv\u00e4ndning av andra tv\u00e5ngs\u00e5tg\u00e4rder som anv\u00e4nds av andra stater<\/a>Men scenen \u00e4r nu satt s\u00e5 att det finns f\u00e5 \u00e5terst\u00e5ende alternativ f\u00f6r Finland som faller inom bokstaven, om inte andan, i internationella m\u00e4nskliga r\u00e4ttigheter och flyktinglagar. Den finska politiken skapar en situation d\u00e4r alla meningsfulla mekanismer f\u00f6r att s\u00f6ka asyl vid alla gr\u00e4nser endast \u00e4r tillg\u00e4ngliga f\u00f6r ett litet antal m\u00e4nniskor, och g\u00f6r asyls\u00f6kningsprocessen allt sv\u00e5rare och farligare<\/a>. Erfarenhet n\u00e5gon annanstans<\/a> visar att avl\u00e4gsnandet av s\u00e4kra och lagliga v\u00e4gar<\/a> att s\u00f6ka asyl hindrar inte m\u00e4nniskor fr\u00e5n att f\u00f6rs\u00f6ka ta sig in, de v\u00e4ljer ist\u00e4llet farligare v\u00e4gar till potentiell s\u00e4kerhet som leder till skador och d\u00f6dsfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
