Ban Ki-Moon vangt in eigen land nauwelijks syrische asielzoekers op.

[Midas]

Ex-VN-baas Ban Ki-Moon, die al lachend zijn afscheid vandaag aankondigde, vond dat Europa nog meer vluchtelingen en asielzoekers moest opnemen, terwijl er in zijn eigen thuisland Zuid-Korea maar een paar tientallen syrische asielzoekers worden erkend. HOE HYPOCRIET kan je zijn ?


Ban Ki-moon: 'meer rechten voor migranten en vluchtelingen

Instead, it is letting 670 Syrians like Mr. Khalifa stay here only on a so-called humanitarian visa, an annually renewable document that limits their ability to find work and bars them from many benefits open to recognized refugees, like health care and the opportunity to have family members join them.

“Bombs could drop on my wife and two sons in Aleppo anytime,” said Mr. Khalifa, 29, referring to his hometown in Syria. “I am desperate to get them out and here but just don’t know how.”

South Korea helps more than 1,000 refugees from North Korea who arrive from third countries resettle here annually with subsidies. Last year it joined a resettlement program sponsored by the United Nations refugee agency, and accepted 22 people from Myanmar who were living in refugee camps in Thailand. But South Koreans, proud of their country’s ethnic homogeneity, have not been eager to receive non-Korean asylum seekers.

South Korea recognized its first non-Korean refugee, an Ethiopian, in 2001. So far, it has granted asylum to only 600 non-Korean refugees out of 18,800 applicants.

South Korea and Japan are both signatories to the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention, which obliges them to protect and provide refugees with basic rights and social services. Even so, their records of accepting asylum seekers are appallingly low. Last year, South Korea granted refugee status to 94 asylum seekers — a bump from 57 in 2013 — out of some 2,900 applicants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East (this doesn’t include North Korean defectors, who are considered South Korean citizens by law).

Dit is dus net het tegenovergestelde als wat Theo Francken doet. Die spreekt straffe taal voor de camera's, maar erkend ondertussen wel een record aantal asielzoekers.
