Migrant Rights at the European Borders, Lecture 5 – Accountability for Extraterritorial Migrant Rights Violations
Abstract:
This lecture will present the legal and practical challenges that individuals encounter when challenging the conduct of EU institutions, bodies and agencies that violated their fundamental rights while implementing the European integrated border management strategy. Such a difficulty has become particularly evident with reference to the operation of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex). Building on his current research on the topic, Salvo Nicolosi, will address the legal challenges of bringing Frontex or other EU agencies involved in externalised border management practices to court. The lecture will also provide an overview of less formal accountability mechanisms and recommendations for legal reforms that could address the current accountability gap in the existing system of judicial remedies.
