Assembly line work at the Bundesverwaltungsgericht St. Gallen. Because the number of asylum applications in Switzerland is increasing, the number of complaints is also increasing. The judges are therefore sounding the alarm: with the current staff, it cannot be guaranteed that asylum appeals can be handled within the legal term, the CH Media newspapers report.
Depending on the procedure, the handling of a complaint takes a maximum of 30 days. The purpose of the policy: The procedures must be completed quickly. If the hanging mountain rises, the processes are delayed. In addition, the complainants are left in the dark and left in the dark about how things will go on for them.
The Federal Administrative Court has therefore requested more staff from the responsible parliamentary commission. It is not known how many new functions should come. The article quotes a spokesperson who says he does not want to anticipate the process of forming an opinion.
24 full-time jobs for judges
Parliament last awarded four additional full-time, fixed-term positions to the Federal Administrative Court in 2017. There are currently 24 full-time positions for judges in the two departments responsible for asylum. There are also 70 full-time jobs for clerks.
According to CH Media, the Federal Administrative Court approved only three percent last year, ie 116 out of 3625 asylum appeals. 63 percent of complaints were rejected. The rest was written off, the court didn’t even bother to deal with it, or the file went straight back to the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) for reassessment.
The stream of complaints is likely to increase further
Last year, 3,460 new complaints were received, 400 more than in 2021. This year, 5,200 complaints are expected. As CH Media reports, the federal government expects about the same number of asylum applications (24,000) in the most likely scenario.
Only: In the first three months of this year, asylum seekers would have challenged twice as many decisions (28 percent) as in the previous year. (Okay)
