New blog post by MeDiMi researchers on the incompatibility of restrictions on #refugees’ access to #healthcare with Germany’s #humanrights obligations 👇

Wieder will die Bundesregierung die ohnehin prekäre Gesundheitsversorgung von Geflüchteten weiter einschränken.

FREDERIK VON HARBOU, MICHAEL KNIPPER und MAIK PAAP zeigen, dass Deutschland damit seine grund- und menschenrechtlichen Pflichten verletzt.

verfassungsblog.de/menschenrech...
Zitat aus dem Text der Autoren Frederik von Harbou, Michael Knipper und Maik Paap: „Insofern die Regierung das Recht auf Gesundheit mit entsprechenden Zielsetzungen nur dosiert verabreicht, setzt sie sich über verfassungs- und völkerrechtliche Grenzen hinweg.“
