EU:n perusoikeuskirja

Euroopan ihmisoikeussopimus ja Euroopan unionin oikeus sisältävät yhä tärkeämmäksi käyvän ulkomaalaisten oikeuksien suojaamista koskevan säännöstön. Euroopan unionin oikeus turvapaikkaoikeudesta, rajoista ja maahanmuutosta kehittyy nopeasti. Euroopan ihmisoikeustuomioistuimessa on kertynyt runsaasti oikeuskäytäntöä, erityisesti Euroopan ihmisoikeussopimuksen 3, 5, 8 ja 13 artiklasta. Euroopan unionin tuomioistuimelta pyydetään yhä useammin lausuntoa unionin oikeuden tämän alan säännösten tulkinnasta. Käsikirjan kolmannessa painoksessa, jota on päivitetty heinäkuuhun 2020 saakka, esitetään EU:n lainsäädäntöä ja molempien tuomioistuinten oikeuskäytäntöä helposti saatavilla olevassa muodossa.

The EU Fundamental Rights Agency published in 2019 its report on the ‘Integration of young refugees in the EU’. The report explored the challenges of young people who fled armed conflict or persecution and arrived in the EU in 2015 and 2016. The report is based on 426 interviews with experts working in the area of asylum and integration, as well as 163 interviews with young people, aged 16 to 24, conducted between October 2017 and June 2018 in 15 regions and cities located in six Member States: Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Sweden. The links on this page provide a summary of the information collected during this period for each country about unaccompanied children turning 18 and the change in people’s legal status once international protection is granted. These two issues had at the time been identified as moments requiring sufficient, consistent and systematic support, particularly from lawyers, social workers and guardians, to ensure successful integration.

In 2019, the International Organization for Migration estimated that 1,866 people have died or gone missing while crossing the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe to escape war or persecution or to pursue a better life. This is an average of five people per day. In recent years, a significant proportion 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. Since 2018, however, authorities in some EU Member States started viewing civil society-deployed rescue vessels with hostility. As a reaction, national authorities initiated about 40 administrative and criminal proceedings against crew members or vessels, including seizing the latter. In some cases, rescue vessels were blocked in harbours due to flag issues or the inability to meet technical requirements.

The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights has been regularly collecting data on migration since September 2015.

It addresses key fundamental rights concerns between 1 January and 31 March 2020.

The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) urges Member States to agree on a simple and practical workflow as soon as possible, to avoid lack of clarity and delays in the relocation process. This paper provides practical suggestions on relocation of unaccompanied children from Greece, building on lessons learned from previous mandatory and voluntary relocation schemes. The paper provides FRA input on the initiative of the European Commission and a group of Member States to relocate unaccompanied children.
