Patvērums, migrācija un robežas

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.

Rokasgrāmatas “Bērni, kas palikuši bez vecāku gādības un atrodas ES dalībvalstī, kura nav viņu
mītnes valsts” mērķis ir stiprināt visu attiecīgo bērnu aizsardzības dalībnieku reakciju. Šo meiteņu
un zēnu aizsardzība ir īpaši svarīga, un tas ir ES dalībvalstu pienākums, kas izriet no starptautiskā
un Eiropas tiesiskā regulējuma. Rokasgrāmatā galvenā uzmanība pievērsta cilvēku tirdzniecības
upuriem un riskam pakļautajiem bērniem, īstenojot 2017. gada paziņojumā paredzēto darbību, ar ko
pastiprina ES rīcību pret cilvēku tirdzniecību, un tajā ņemti vērā konstatētie modeļi, tostarp attiecībā
uz nozieguma dzimumu specifiku.

The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights has been regularly collecting data on migration since
September 2015. This report focuses on the fundamental rights situation of people arriving in
Member States and EU candidate countries particularly affected by migration movements.
It addresses fundamental rights concerns between 1 January and 31 March 2019.

This report looks into the fundamental rights situation of asylum applicants and beneficiaries of international protection in the EU throughout 2018. It pulls together the main issues identified in FRA’s regular updates on fundamental rights related to asylum, migration and borders in selected EU Member States, which the agency has been publishing since September 2015.

In November 2016, FRA formulated 21 individual opinions to address the fundamental rights shortcomings identified in the implementation of the hotspot approach in Greece and Italy. Despite genuine efforts to improve the situation since November 2016, many of the suggestions contained in the 21 opinions FRA formulated at the time remain valid.
