Frontex

human rights obligations and the role of the European ombudsman

Nikos Vogiatzis

pp. 303-318

Nikos Vogiatzis sheds light on Frontex and the role of the European. Frontex's reluctance to accept a complaints mechanism and, thus, to assume its share of responsibility is indicative of the ongoing tensions in the field of migration to the European Union (EU). Empowering Frontex is likely to raise further issues of human rights protection. To that end, the role of the European Ombudsman is to support efforts to hold Frontex accountable as a means of extra-judicial redress.
