This is the second main report from FRA’s Fundamental Rights Survey, which collected data from 35,000 people on a range of issues.

The report also examines how often these crimes are reported to the police, and presents further details relating to harassment and violence, such as the perpetrators and where the incidents took place.
Lots of small, positive acts can lead to great things. FRA’s Friso Roscam Abbing explains how you can defend human rights by something as simple as voting.

National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) are a vital part of the country-level human rights protection system. By raising awareness, providing advice, monitoring and holding authorities to account, they have a central role in navigating the great human rights challenges of our day – tackling both persistent concerns like discrimination and inequality, and novel issues such as the rights implications of artificial intelligence and of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2020 (until 15 December), the International Organization for Migration estimated that about 1,054 people have died or gone missing while crossing the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe to escape war or persecution or to pursue a better life. This is an average of almost three people per day. In the past years, a significant number 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. Since 2018, however, national authorities initiated some 50 administrative and criminal proceedings against crew members or vessels, also seizing the latter. In some cases, rescue vessels were blocked in harbours due to flag issues or the inability to meet maritime safety-related and other technical requirements.

The European Convention on Human Rights and European Union law provide an increasingly important framework for the protection of the rights of foreigners. European Union legislation relating to asylum, borders and immigration is developing fast. There is an impressive body of case law by the European Court of Human Rights relating in particular to Articles 3, 5, 8 and 13 of the ECHR. The Court of Justice of the European Union is increasingly asked to pronounce on the interpretation of European Union law provisions in this field. The third edition of this handbook, updated up to July 2020, presents this European Union legislation and the body of case law by the two European courts in an accessible way.

Euroopan ihmisoikeussopimus ja Euroopan unionin oikeus sisältävät yhä tärkeämmäksi käyvän ulkomaalaisten oikeuksien suojaamista koskevan säännöstön. Euroopan unionin oikeus turvapaikkaoikeudesta, rajoista ja maahanmuutosta kehittyy nopeasti. Euroopan ihmisoikeustuomioistuimessa on kertynyt runsaasti oikeuskäytäntöä, erityisesti Euroopan ihmisoikeussopimuksen 3, 5, 8 ja 13 artiklasta. Euroopan unionin tuomioistuimelta pyydetään yhä useammin lausuntoa unionin oikeuden tämän alan säännösten tulkinnasta. Käsikirjan kolmannessa painoksessa, jota on päivitetty heinäkuuhun 2020 saakka, esitetään EU:n lainsäädäntöä ja molempien tuomioistuinten oikeuskäytäntöä helposti saatavilla olevassa muodossa.
