Monitoring fundamental rights under the Screening Regulation

On 16 April, FRA and the Deputy Frontex Fundamental Rights Officer provided an awareness raising workshop to monitoring staff of the NHRIs, Ombuds Institutions and Justice Chancellors of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland and Poland.

It was an occasion for FRA to build on its guide on national independent mechanisms ‘Monitoring fundamental rights during screening and the asylum border procedure’. 

FRA also presented and discussed its draft monitoring methodology which FRA is developing to aid the future national independent monitoring mechanisms.
