EU Migration Pact takes effect 12 June: Luxembourg stands up a dedicated asylum court

The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum starts applying on 12 June 2026, replacing the Dublin system with eight regulations and a directive. Luxembourg is transposing the package through Bill 8694, which creates a specialised asylum and immigration section inside the administrative tribunal staffed by up to sixteen judges. The reform lands as the Pact's solidarity mechanism faces a challenge from France's National Assembly before the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice, where Advocate General Tamara Capeta has advised judges to throw the case out.

Luxembourg is one of Europe's safest countries: the US and UK both place it at their lowest advisory level, and violent crime is rare.

Venezuela's 'Normalization Without Transition': Inside the Post-Maduro Order

Since US forces captured Nicolas Maduro on 3 January 2026, deputy Delcy Rodriguez has governed Venezuela, opening the oil sector to private investors and freeing hundreds of prisoners while sidestepping the elections the constitution requires.
