    Europska konvencija o ljudskim pravima i pravo Europske unije čine sve važniji okvir za zaštitu prava stranaca. Zakonodavstvo Europske unije u području azila, granica i imigracije brzo se razvija. Dostupna je opsežna sudska praksa Europskog suda za ljudska prava koja se konkretno odnosi na članke 3., 5., 8. i 13. EKLJP‑a. Od Suda Europske unije sve se češće traži da donosi odluke o tumačenju odredaba prava Europske unije u tom području. U trećem izdanju ovog priručnika, koji je ažuriran u skladu s informacijama dostupnima do srpnja 2020., na pristupačan su način predstavljeni zakonodavstvo Europske unije i sudska praksa navedenih dvaju europskih sudova. Priručnik je namijenjen pravnim stručnjacima, sudcima, tužiteljima, imigracijskim službenicima i nevladinim organizacijama u državama članicama EU‑a i Vijeća Europe.

Protecting migrant workers from exploitation in the EU: workers’ perspectives

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.

Migration remains politically charged

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.

2019 update - NGO ships involved in search and rescue in the Mediterranean and criminal investigations

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.

Djeca bez roditeljske skrbi pronađena u drugoj državi članici EU-a

Cilj je vodiča Djeca bez roditeljske skrbi pronađena u drugoj državi članici EU-a povećati mogućnosti
reakcije svih relevantnih strana u pogledu zaštite djece. Zaštita tih djevojčica i dječaka presudna
je i predstavlja obvezu država članica EU-a koja proizlazi iz međunarodnog i europskog pravnog
okvira. U središtu su pozornosti vodiča djeca žrtve trgovanja ljudima i djeca koja su izložena riziku
te provedba mjera opisanih u Komunikaciji iz 2017. o jačanju mjera EU-a protiv trgovanja ljudima.
Pritom se u obzir uzimaju utvrđeni obrasci, uključujući one povezane sa spolnom dimenzijom
kaznenih djela.
