This is the recording of the third and final webinar in our series on the report 'Deportation Union: Rights, accountability and the EU's push to increase forced removals'. On 14 December 2020, we examined the increased role of Frontex, the EU Border and Coast Guard Agency, in coordinating and conducting forced removal operations. Do the new powers granted to the agency have sufficient transparency and accountability mechanisms, and what is the agency's impact on human rights?
Speakers:
-Andreas Pottakis, Greek Ombudsman
-Mariana Gkliati, specialist on protection against human rights violations in the area of asylum and immmigration, University of Leiden
-Jane Kilpatrick, Statewatch
