The European Court of Justice has ruled that EU member states may only extend temporary border controls at their internal borders beyond a period of six months if a new threat to their internal security arises. This new threat must be different from the one that originally led to the temporary reintroduction of border measures. Austria applied this exception several times in succession. Specifically, the legal dispute concerned the border between Austria and Slovenia, where the Austrian authorities had been carrying out controls since 2015 due to increasing numbers of refugees crossing the border. read more

Die EU-Agentur wurde 2004 gegründet, um die Grenzwachen der Schengen-Staaten zu vernetzen. Doch entwickelte Frontex zunehmend eine operative Eigenständigkeit, hin zu einer europäischen Grenztruppe. Wie zahlreiche Untersuchungen zeigen, machte sich die Agentur dabei an Menschenrechtsverletzungen mitschuldig: Pushbacks, also Rückschaffungen ohne die Möglichkeit, ein Asylgesuch zu stellen, fanden unter Beteiligung und im Wissen von Frontex statt. read more

Quasi cinque anni dalla loro pubblicazione, le Linee Guida sull’assistenza e la riabilitazione delle vittime di tortura rimangono per lo più inapplicate su gran parte del territorio nazionale. Per le persone sopravvissute a violenza intenzionale che vivono e risiedono in Italia mancano spesso adeguati servizi pubblici di assistenza. È quanto emerge dal nuovo rapporto di Medici Senza Frontiere (MSF) “Attuazione delle linee guida per assistenza e riabilitazione delle vittime di tortura e altre forme di violenza: mappatura e analisi”. read more
