Les travailleurs migrants dans l’UE sont souvent victimes d’exploitation et d’abus au travail. Les nouvelles orientations de l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA) mettent en avant six mesures adressées aux inspecteurs du travail pour mieux protéger et faire valoir les droits des travailleurs migrants. Cet automne, l’Agence publiera également un manuel pratique contenant des conseils, des exemples et des exercices afin d’accompagner les inspecteurs du travail.

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.

L’antisémitisme persiste dans l’UE, affectant les Juifs à la fois en ligne et hors ligne. Les inquiétudes concernant la sécurité et les fréquentes expériences de harcèlement forcent de nombreuses personnes à dissimuler leur identité juive. Ces indications alarmantes proviennent de la dernière enquête menée par l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA). L’Union européenne (UE) et certains de ses États membres ont mis en place des mesures et des plans d’action pour s’attaquer à l’antisémitisme. Les pays de l’UE doivent s’appuyer sur ces efforts pour faire en sorte que les Juifs puissent vivre dans la dignité, à l’abri de la haine et de la peur. Cela est particulièrement important compte tenu de l’impact du conflit en cours au Moyen-Orient sur les communautés juives en Europe.
