Challenging Deprivation of Liberty and Externalisation

Led by Migreurop, this project addresses the blurred boundaries between detention and reception with a specific focus on hotspots, as well as the externalisation of EU migration and asylum policies through cooperation with third countries. Relying on a combination of documentation, evidence-driven national and EU advocacy, awareness-raising and capacity building, the project aims to foster enhanced transparency and democratic oversight on EU cooperation with third countries, and to reaffirm the primacy of dignified and lawful reception practices.
