Border control, surveillance operations and expulsion of irregular
immigrants-particularly through return flights-can pose serious
human rights challenges. This book, prepared by the Brussels-based
think tank Centre for European Policy Studies, examines whether
Europe is properly equipped to ensure effective access to remedies
for alleged rights violations or possible abuses of force against
immigrants and asylum seekers. It sheds light on the fragmentation
of the human rights accountability regimes and shows that while the
'law on the books' may formally recognise a set of fundamental
rights for immigrants and asylum seekers, the 'law in practice'
does not necessarily offer adequate complaint mechanisms in many
European countries. Finally, the book sets out a number of policy
recommendations, paying particular attention to addressing human
rights accountability issues in the context of activities
undertaken by the new European Border and Coast Guard (Frontex).
