Fair Day in Court for Kids Act of 2016 This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to authorize the Department of Justice (DOJ) to appoint or provide counsel at government expense to aliens in removal proceedings. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shall provide an alien in removal proceedings with all relevant documents in its possession, unless the alien has knowingly waived the right to such documents. In the absence of a waiver a removal proceeding may not proceed until the alien has received, and had time to review, the documents. DOJ may appoint or provide counsel to aliens in any INA proceeding. DHS shall ensure that aliens have access to counsel inside all immigration detention and border facilities. DOJ shall appoint counsel, at government expense if necessary, for an unaccompanied alien child or a particularly vulnerable individual. DHS shall: (1) facilitate access to counsel for all aliens detained in facilities under the supervision of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP); and (2) establish procedures to ensure that legal orientation programs are available for all detained aliens, including aliens held in CBP facilities. DOJ shall develop and administer a two-year pilot program at not fewer than two immigration courts to grant access to legal information to non-detained aliens with pending asylum claims. DHS shall establish a pilot program to increase the court appearance rates of unaccompanied alien children and particularly vulnerable individuals by contracting with nongovernmental, community-based organizations to provide such aliens with case management services.

Originaltext der Frage(n):<br /> <br /> Teilt die Bundesregierung die Auffassung, dass die vollständige Umsetzung der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention durch die Türkei, die die Konvention bisher lediglich mit einem geografischen Vorbehalt unterzeichnet hat, zu einer Verbesserung der Lebenssituation und rechtlichen Sicherheit von syrischen Flüchtlingen in der Türkei führen würde, und wenn ja, warum war die vollständige Unterzeichnung der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention nicht Bestandteil der EU-Türkei Verhandlungen?
Germany · German Bundestag · 5 February 2016
Originaltext der Frage(n):<br /> <br /> Wie positioniert sich die Bundesregierung dazu, dass sich die Definition des Begriffs "Flüchtling" des UNHCR (hoher Flüchtlingskommissar der Vereinten Nationen) von jener Definition des UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) unterscheidet, nach der jeder Mensch, der zwischen dem 1. Juni 1946 und dem 15. Mai 1948 in Palästina ansässig war und der sein Haus oder seinen Lebensunterhalt durch die Kriege 1948 oder 1967 verlor, sowie sämtliche seiner Nachkommen als Flüchtling gilt (Palästinenserinnen und Palästinenser werden vom UNRWA also weiterhin als Flüchtlinge anerkannt, auch wenn sie eine "neue" Staatsbürgerschaft besitzen), während ein Mensch nach UNHCR-Definition verfolgt oder staatenlos sein muss, und gibt es konkrete Fälle, in denen geflüchtete Palästinenserinnen und Palästinenser aus Syrien, die offizielle UNRWAFlüchtlingsdokumente besitzen, in den EU-Ländern nicht als Flüchtlinge anerkannt werden?

Januar 2016 und darin die Aussage eines Bundespolizisten, www.tagesschau.de/inland/fluechtlinge-deutschland-grenzen-101.html – dies steht im Widerspruch zur Vorbemerkung der Bundesregierung in der Antwort auf die Kleine Anfrage der Fraktion DIE LINKE. auf Bundestagsdrucksache 18/7311, wonach um Schutz nachsuchende Drittstaatsangehörige derzeit nicht zurückgewiesen würden), und wie viele solcher angeblicher Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge (in dem Bericht werden inhaftierte Betroffene aus Afghanistan, Pakistan und dem Irak gezeigt) wurden bislang zurückgewiesen (bitte auch nach Herkunftsländern und Zeiträumen differenzieren und ins Verhältnis zur Zahl der kontrollierten Personen setzen)?
