"According to several NGO reports, fundamental rights may have been violated during some Frontex activities and the adoption of a fundamental rights strategy is therefore essential. Some rights were reported to be in particular danger of being breached: protection against non‐refoulement; the right to claim asylum; protection against inhuman and degrading treatment; the right to leave one’s country; protection against collective expulsions; protection of personal data; and protection from discrimination."
