Fundamental rights awareness for Europol guest officers

On 3 February, FRA delivered an online awareness-raising session on fundamental rights. It was part of the two-week pre-deployment training that Europol guest officers receive before being deployed to external borders to support national authorities.

The session covered key fundamental-rights considerations in border-management contexts. 

FRA shared relevant guidance and practical tools to support rights-compliant operational work, such as the 12 points on initial reception facilities, or the fundamental rights implications of the obligation to provide fingerprints for Eurodac.
