Webinar looks at fundamental rights in forced returns

FRA joined an online seminar on fundamental rights in forced returns.

Conducting return operations, particularly forced return operations in a fundamental rights-compliant way presents challenges.

These could be overcome through raising awareness and building capacities of involved staff. The objective of the webinar was to equip involved staff with the knowledge to identify fundamental rights challenges at an early stage.

150 law enforcement officers, border staff, escorts and Ministry of Interior officials connected to the webinar from across the EU. The CEPOL webinar took place on 13 November.
