New Report Alert! The new PRAB report sheds light on the human impact of pushbacks in Europe. It’s crucial to turn policy promises into practice to end these violations.

Over the past years, pushbacks have been commonly used and tacitly accepted across EU’s external and internal borders as means of border management. While human rights and humanitarian actors have been calling the EU to effectively address the rights violations at its borders, the question remains – whether the long awaited, much debated and finally adopted EU Pact on Asylum and Migration will put an end to pushbacks?

Keen to understand the disconnect between legal frameworks and realities on the ground? Read PRAB’s newest report:

Protecting Rights at Borders (PRAB) is an initiative of protection and legal aid groups that focus on ensuring human rights are upheld at the EU’s external and internal borders. The members of PRAB have a well-established field presence in the countries of operation, which allows them direct access to victims who have experienced pushbacks and significant experience in strategic litigation.
