Report of the Special Rapporteur on the human rights
of migrants, François Crépeau
Banking on mobility over a generation: follow-up to the regional study
on the management of the external borders of the European Union and
its impact on the human rights of migrants*
Summary
The deaths of migrants in the central Mediterranean Sea have vividly and visibly
demonstrated the continued importance of the issue of European Union border management
in relation to the human rights of migrants. The present report follows the analysis of
European Union border control presented to the Human Rights Council in 2013. It will
address persistent human rights concerns and examine the long-term feasibility of the
European Union’s overall migration policy and the application of the Union’s founding
values and regional human rights standards in relation to integration and diversity.
