Summary: This FRA report examines the conditions at Europe’s southern sea borders with respect to the most fundamental rights of a person, the right to life and the right not to be sent back to torture, persecution or inhuman treatment. It looks at sea border surveillance and disembarkation procedures, as well as training and Frontex-coordinated operations. It examines practices across the EU Member States researched – Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Malta and Spain. By mapping the fundamental rights challenges at Europe’s southern sea borders and identifying promising practices, this report is intended to offer advice to EU policy makers and practitioners at both the EU and Member State level. With its findings, the report highlights the following concrete measures, among others, that the EU and its Member States can take to address specific shortcomings identified by this research. |
