How should EU countries set up independent national mechanisms to monitor #FundamentalRights compliance during border screening & asylum procedures? New guidance from the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights sets out 9 key considerations on how best to do this: 1. Independence – be autonomous and not be affiliated with any authority responsible for asylum, border and migration management. 2. Scope – monitor all activities and the treatment of non-EU nationals during screening and the assessment of asylum claims at the EU’s external borders. 3. Powers – be able to carry out checks, whenever and wherever, without restrictions. 4. Investigations – record allegations of rights violations and handle complaints. 5. Staffing – have enough skilled personnel to effectively carry out their work. 6. Finances – have sufficient funding to effectively carry out their duties. 7. Accountability – publicly report on the breadth of their work, and provide key findings and recommendations. 8. Synergies – work alongside existing rights monitoring mechanisms. 9. Cooperation – cooperate with other migration and data protection bodies. Get it here: https://europa.eu/!ckgW8P
