    The European Convention on Human Rights and European Union law provide an increasingly important framework for the protection of the rights of foreigners. European Union legislation relating to asylum, borders and immigration is developing fast. There is an impressive body of case law by the European Court of Human Rights relating in particular to Articles 3, 5, 8 and 13 of the ECHR. The Court of Justice of the European Union is increasingly asked to pronounce on the interpretation of European Union law provisions in this field. The third edition of this handbook, updated up to July 2020, presents this European Union legislation and the body of case law by the two European courts in an accessible way.

The EU Return Directive (2008/115/EC) in Article 8 (6) introduced an important fundamental rights safeguard for third-country nationals ordered to leave the EU because they do not or no longer fulfil the conditions for entry and/or stay. According to the directive, Member States must provide for an effective forced-return monitoring system.

This report is the EU Fundamental Rights Agency’s fourth on the topic of severe labour exploitation. Based on interviews with 237 exploited workers, it paints a bleak picture of severe exploitation and abuse. The workers include both people who came to the EU, and EU nationals who moved to another EU country. They were active in diverse sectors, and their legal status also varied.
Fundamental Rights Report 2019: Not all children benefit equally from efforts to guarantee child rights.
Some groups face particular difficulties.
Fundamental Rights Report 2019: Although migrant arrivals to the EU continue to drop, it remains a divisive issue politically and
across society. Nearly 4 in 10 Europeans think immigration is more of a problem than a solution.
And nearly a half overestimate the number of irregular migrants in their country.

In 2018, some 2,299 people are estimated to have died or gone missing at sea while crossing the sea to reach Europe to escape war or persecution or to pursue a better life. This is on average more than six people per day. Before mid-2017, a significant share of migrants in distress at sea have been rescued by civil society vessels deployed with a humanitarian mandate to reduce fatalities and bring rescued migrants to safety. In 2018, however, authorities in some Member States viewed civil society-deployed rescue vessels with hostility. As a reaction, they seized rescue vessels, arrested crew members, and initiated legal procedures against them (more than a dozen altogether). In some cases, rescue vessels were blocked in harbours due to flag issues.

Juhendi „Vanemliku hoolitsuseta lapsed, kes leitakse ELi liikmesriigist, mis ei ole nende
päritoluliikmesriik“ eesmärk on tõhustada kõigi lastekaitsega tegelevate üksuste tegevust. Selliste
tüdrukute ja poiste kaitsmine on väga tähtis. See on ka ELi liikmesriikide kohustus, mis tuleneb
rahvusvahelisest ja Euroopa õigusraamistikust. Juhendis pööratakse eritähelepanu inimkaubanduse
lapsohvritele ja ohus olevatele lastele ning sellega viiakse ellu meede, mis nähti ette 2017. aasta
teatises inimkaubanduse vastaste ELi meetmete tugevdamise kohta, võttes arvesse kindlakstehtud
mustreid, sealhulgas kuritegevuse soolist eripära.

Käesolevas juhendis selgitatakse, mida profiilide koostamine endast kujutab, milliste õigusaktidega seda reguleeritakse ning miks on nii profiilide koostamise seaduslikkus põhiõiguste tagamiseks kui ka politseitegevuse ja piirihalduse tõhus toimimine olulised. Juhendis antakse ka praktilisi soovitusi selle kohta, kuidas vältida politsei- ja piirivalvetoimingutes ebaseaduslikku profiilide koostamist.
