Abstract: The refugee crisis evidenced a myriad of flaws in the EU common asylum policy, especially the lack of fairness in asylum burden-sharing. This paper reveals that, despite some progress in terms of inequality, a bi-polarised distribution gained ground. Moreover, two novel convergence approaches in this field reveal that the message of previous articles on disparity reduction is incomplete; there was no pure convergence, as it was achieved due to frontrunners, with no role for laggards. Consequently, urgent political action and greater leadership by European institutions are required to pave the way for distributive justice between states in asylum burdens
