    Europos žmogaus teisių konvencija ir Europos Sąjungos teisė – tai vis svarbesnė užsieniečių teisių apsaugos sistema. Europos Sąjungos teisės aktai, susiję su prieglobsčiu, sienomis ir imigracija, sparčiai tobulėja. Europos Žmogaus Teisių Teismas yra suformavęs įspūdingą teismų praktiką, visų pirma susijusią su EŽTK 3, 5, 8 ir 13 straipsniais. Europos Sąjungos Teisingumo Teismo vis dažniau prašoma pasisakyti dėl Europos Sąjungos teisės nuostatų aiškinimo šioje srityje. Trečiame šio vadovo leidime, atnaujintame iki 2020 m. liepos mėn., prieinamai pristatomi šie Europos Sąjungos teisės aktai ir dviejų Europos Sąjungos teismų praktikos visuma.

    This FRA Position Paper outlines the Agency’s position on the creation of 'return hubs' in non-EU countries for migrants who have been ordered to leave the EU. Considering the serious fundamental rights risks connected with running return hubs, this legal analysis presents the conditions that would have to be met for return hubs to respect fundamental rights and comply with EU law. These include setting up agreements with the host countries and creating independent human rights monitoring mechanisms. The position paper does not examine centres in third countries that process asylum applications.

    Up to one third of migrants arriving in the European Union since the summer of 2015 have been children. The current emphasis on speedier asylum processing and making returns more effective may trigger increased use of immigration detention, possibly also affecting children. The detention of children implicates various fundamental rights and will only be in line with EU law if limited to exceptional cases. This report aims to support practitioners in implementing relevant polices in line with applicable law by outlining available safeguards against unlawful and arbitrary detention and highlighting promising practices.

    EU Member States are increasingly involved in border management activities on the high seas, within – or i cooperation with – third countries, and at the EU’s borders. Such activities entail risks of violating the principle of non-refoulement, the cornerstone of the international legal regime for the protection of refugees, which prohibits returning individuals to a risk of persecution. This report aims to encourage fundamental-rights compliant approaches to border management, including by highlighting potential grey areas.

    Without being exhaustive, this opinion discusses selected topics which touch certain Charter rights, identifying the challenges and describing measures that could be taken to mitigate the risk of actions, which are not compliant with the Charter. It does not focus exclusively on risks arising in direct relation to the involvement of EU actors on the ground, but also takes into account that the hotspot approach entails a certain share of responsibility of the EU for the situation in the hotspots overall.
