In a response to an opinion piece, members of the Swedish Migration Agency's ethical council, including Anna-Sara Lind, Jonas Eek, Jonas Ivarsson, and Alexandra Segensted, stress the importance of upholding human dignity and the rights of children in migration legislation. As significant changes loom in migration laws, they advocate for a dedicated forum to discuss ethical dilemmas surrounding these issues.

The council acknowledges the increasing public concern about how new regulations may impact children and young individuals, affirming that ethical considerations in migration should prioritize human dignity, proportionality, legal security, and the best interests of the child. They emphasize that these principles are foundational to maintaining a fair legal framework within which migration matters are assessed.

Given the potential implications for vulnerable populations, the council aims to engage in meaningful dialogue to address these ethical concerns, pointing out the importance of transparency and accountability in the decision-making processes at the Migration Agency. The message is clear: as migration regulations evolve, so too must the ethical considerations that guide these changes, especially concerning the well-being of children and youth.
