Les homicides illégaux, les passages à tabac, les injures racistes et l’usage abusif de la force par les agents de la force publique sont interdits en toutes circonstances par le droit international.

The European Union (EU) has, in many cases, taken responsibility for ensuring that member states’ laws and policies meet human rights standards. However, on the issue of migration, the EU has been part of the problem rather than part of the solution, inspiring the term «Fortress Europe».

Spain’s accelerating effort to send back unaccompanied children who enter the country illegally might subject them to danger, ill-treatment and detention, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The government needs to halt repatriations until it has a process to ensure their well-being, and, as an immediate step, give them the same right to an independent lawyer that adult migrants have under Spanish law.

In most Member States of the EU, the number of persons crossing the state border at airports far exceeds those at land or sea borders. Yet access of asylum seekers to the territory and the asylum procedure is often unregulated or ad hoc at such entry points.

En 2002, la fermeture du centre de Sangatte devait, selon le ministère de l’Intérieur de l’époque, mettre fin « à un symbole d’appel d’air de l’immigration clandestine dans le monde ».
