Incapacité à sauver et à aider les migrants en détresse, mauvais traitements et abus. Il s’agit là de quelques-unes des violations graves et aux conséquences potentiellement mortelles des droits de l’homme aux frontières terrestres et maritimes de l’UE qui ne font pas l’objet d’enquêtes appropriées. Le dernier rapport de l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA) recense les lacunes et les obstacles systémiques qui empêchent d’enquêter sur ces violations. Le pacte sur la migration et l’asile offre une possibilité d’y remédier. Le rapport propose des mesures concrètes pour garantir des enquêtes plus efficaces sur les cas de décès et de mauvais traitements aux frontières de l’UE.
