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.

Antisemitismus ist in der EU weiterhin ein Problem – das bekommen Jüdinnen und Juden im Internet wie im wahren Leben zu spüren. Aufgrund von Sicherheitsbedenken und häufiger Belästigung sehen sich viele gezwungen, ihre jüdische Identität zu verbergen. Diese alarmierenden Erkenntnisse stammen aus der neusten Erhebung der EU-Agentur für Grundrechte (FRA). Die EU und einige ihrer Mitgliedstaaten haben Maßnahmen und Aktionspläne zur Bekämpfung von Antisemitismus eingeführt. Die EU-Länder müssen an diese Bemühungen anknüpfen, damit jüdische Menschen würdevoll, sicher und angstfrei leben können. Vor dem Hintergrund der Auswirkungen des fortdauernden Konflikts im Nahen Osten auf die jüdischen Gemeinschaften in Europa ist dies besonders wichtig.
