Thomas Hammarberg, Commissioner for Human Rights, is criticizing the Member Staats for introducing strict requirements for family migration. It is becoming more and more difficult for immigrants in Europe to have their family members join them. Even long-term residents and naturalised citizens are being deprived of this human right as policies in host countries are now becoming more restrictive and selective. Applicants have to fulfil unreasonable requirements which create insurmountable obstacles to them to living with their loved ones.
