Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

In the context of debates surrounding Frontex’ complicit role in human rights violations, EU and Member States’ senior officials started to construct and promote a view of ‘interception’ which distorts the reality of violence in the Aegean. By shifting the focus from the systemic violence to the technicalities of the law and ‘border management’, officials have brought the fundamental protections afforded to migrants under international and EU law into question.
