The drownings of so many migrants – on average 8 every day last year – is a cause of deep shame for Europe. We cannot keep simply watching as innocent people die at sea.</p> <p>The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights dispatched a team to Greece, to gather information on the circumstances around the tragedy, as part of our broader work on upholding fundamental rights in the context of migration and asylum.</p> <p>What we learned during that mission was used to draft the concrete measures we suggest in this report. This includes a call for better protection for shipwreck survivors and prompt, effective and independent investigations of these tragedies – which continue to occur.</p> <p>Furthermore, EU Member States must improve search and rescue efforts and provide legal pathways to safety to prevent deaths at sea. Finally, the Agency also calls for the establishment of independent border monitoring, and clear disembarkation rules and solidarity for taking charge of rescued people.</p> <p>FRA believes that these concrete measures will save lives at sea, while also providing unambiguous steps for the European Union and governments to take to prevent such tragedies.</p> <p>However, none of them will work as effectively as necessarily without commitment from the EU and Member States, and a realisation that our failure to wake up and properly implement effective measures will ultimately lead to a recurrence of this horrific and senseless incident.</p> <p>“The right to life has crucial importance both for individuals and for society as a whole. It is most precious for its own sake as a right that inheres in every human being, but it also constitutes a fundamental right, the effective protection of which is the prerequisite for the enjoyment of all other human rights and the content of which can be informed by other human rights.”</p> <p>The spirit of this text, from Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, is one which is reflected in constitutions, religious texts, and customary norms across the world.</p> <p>It is a spirit which we here in Europe have formally agreed to revere, through our development and ratification of human rights instruments such as the European Convention on Human Rights (Article 2) and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (Article 2). Case law and interpretative guidance relevant to the right of life has reinforced the positive obligation upon States to take appropriate steps to safeguard the lives of all those within their jurisdictions.</p> <p>There is no hierarchy when it comes to the right to life, nor is it an entitlement bestowed only on European Union citizens. It is not just an abstract notion of those of us who have never known war, persecution, inequality, or environmental destruction. It is a real protection, which carries an explicit obligation for States that are bound to honour it on land and on sea.</p> <p>Michael O’Flaherty<br> <strong>Director</strong></p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="op-paginator"><a href="https://fra.europa.eu/en/publication/2023/fra-deaths-sea-paper?page=1#read-online" class="next">Introduction</a></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="tabs-panel" id="related"> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-publications-related field-name-field-fra-publications-related field-type-entity-reference field-label-above"> <div class="field-label">Related</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><div data-history-node-id="45505" class="node node--type-fra-publication node--view-mode-teaser theme-item theme-item-Asylum ds-2col clearfix"> <div class="group-left"><div class="field field-node--field-fra-image field-name-field-fra-image field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <a href="/en/publication/2024/guidance-investigating-alleged-ill-treatment-borders" hreflang="en"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/landscape_with_border/public/fra_images/2024.3511-guidance_on_investigating_alleged_ill-treatment_at_borders.png?itok=GfyMzTHe" width="360" height="509" /> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="group-right"> <div class="PubThemes"> <div class="field field-node--bundle-fieldnode field-name-bundle-fieldnode field-type-ds field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Report / Paper / Summary</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-taxonomy-pri-theme field-name-field-fra-taxonomy-pri-theme field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><a href="/en/themes/borders-and-information-systems-0" hreflang="en">Borders and information systems</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-taxonomy-sec-theme field-name-field-fra-taxonomy-sec-theme field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><a href="/en/themes/asylum-migration-and-borders" hreflang="en">Asylum, migration and borders</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="TeaserPubDate"> <div class="PublicationDate"> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-day field-name-field-fra-day field-type-list-integer field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">30</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-month field-name-field-fra-month field-type-list-integer field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">July</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-year field-name-field-fra-year field-type-yearonly field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">2024</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--node-title field-name-node-title field-type-ds field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><h2> <a href="/en/publication/2024/guidance-investigating-alleged-ill-treatment-borders" hreflang="en">Guidance on investigating alleged ill-treatment at borders</a> </h2> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-summary field-name-field-fra-summary field-type-string-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Fundamental rights violations on the EU’s land and sea borders often go unreported.

Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has shown how a large and sudden influx of people can be managed effectively and respectfully. Notwithstanding the improvements, the growing number of people crossing or attempting to enter the EU pose a wide range of fundamental rights challenges. <br /> <br /> In this bulletin, FRA takes stock of concerns and improvements regarding the fundamental rights of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees.
