Versäumnisse bei der Rettung und Unterstützung von Migranten in Not, Misshandlung und Missbrauch sind nur einige der schwerwiegenden und lebensbedrohlichen Menschenrechtsverletzungen an den Land- und Seeaußengrenzen der EU, die nicht ordnungsgemäß untersucht werden. Der jüngste Bericht der EU-Agentur für Grundrechte (FRA) zeigt systemische Lücken und Hindernisse bei der Untersuchung solcher Verstöße auf. Das Migrations- und Asylpaket bietet die Möglichkeit, diese Probleme anzugehen. In dem Bericht werden konkrete Schritte vorgeschlagen, um sicherzustellen, dass Vorfälle mit tödlichem Ausgang und Misshandlung an den EU-Grenzen wirksam untersucht werden.
Wanderarbeitnehmerinnen und -nehmer in der EU sind häufig mit der Ausbeutung ihrer Arbeitskraft und Missbrauch konfrontiert.

In diesem Herbst wird die Agentur ein praktisches Handbuch mit Tipps, Beispielen und Übungen zur weiteren Unterstützung der Arbeitsaufsichtsbeamten herausgeben.
