D7.2 – Work Package 7 contribution to D9.4
The present study examines the level of protection of the fundamental rights of irregular migrants (such as the prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment, the principle of non-refoulement, respect for private and family life, prohibition of collective expulsions, fair trial and equal treatment) during different stages of the migration process where return situations may occur. This contribution aims to pinpoint which rights are at most risk of infringement in the respective context. It outlines the shortcomings and gaps in protection in the application of the Return Directive and offers some specific recommendations to strengthen the legal framework.
