Guidance on how to reduce the risk of refoulement in external border management when working in or together with third countries
Publication metadata
This guidance on how to reduce the risk of refoulement in border management situations aims to support the EU and its Member States when implementing integrated border management measures with the assistance of third countries. It also intends to mitigate possible risks of being held accountable. It is not comprehensive, and Member States have to comply with all applicable obligations both within as well as beyond the scope of these guidelines, including those set forth in international, European and national law. The guidance focuses on border management situations where the responsibility for possible violations of fundamental rights are unclear, in particular on activities that are carried out with the assistance of third countries. It does not cover situations where the law is settled. The guidance sets out 10 suggestions for practical measures. The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) developed this guidance based on its report on the Scope of the principle of non-refoulement in contemporary border management: evolving areas of law. Both the report and the guidance benefited greatly from expert input at a meeting held in Vienna on 14 March 2016.
