Key points

  • The European Parliament supports the creation of a dedicated system for individuals to lodge complaints regarding human rights violations during Frontex operations.
  • The proposed mechanism would align with existing regulations and should be supported by the Fundamental Rights Officer.
  • While Frontex coordinates operations, it does not have the power to punish Member State officials; disciplinary actions remain the responsibility of the home country.
  • To ensure transparency, all officers participating in operations should wear visible identification, such as a name or number, on their uniforms.
