<p><br></p><h3>Abstract</h3><p>The action of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) is currently under unprecedented examination for human rights violations at the EU’s borders. Nonetheless, its operations beyond EU borders remain scarcely scrutinised. A video by Tineke Strik, the rapporteur of the final report by the Frontex Scrutiny Working Group at the European Parliament, will introduce Frontex’s human rights compliance. The guest speaker, Mariana Gkliati, will address the different human rights risks and implications of Frontex operations in third countries, the accountability gaps in the current legal framework governing them, and some reflection on how to tackle them.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.uni.lu/fdef-en/news/migrant-rights-at-the-european-borders-fnr-lecture-series/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Please find the detailed programme here.</a></p><h3><br></h3><h3>Location</h3><p>University of Luxembourg</p><p>Campus Kirchberg - Weicker Building</p><p>Room B001 (ground floor)</p><p>4, rue Alphonse Weicker, L-2721 Luxembourg</p><p><br></p><h3>Webex information</h3><p>Meeting link: https://bit.ly/47rRbVR</p><p>Meeting password: FDEF</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Language</h3><p>English</p><p><br></p><p>RESCOM/23/17928627</p><p><br></p>
