Abstract
AbstractThis chapter examines specific forms of EU cooperation with third countries that give rise to questions of compatibility with international, European and EU human rights law. The chapter further applies principles of responsibility attribution under general international law and international and European human rights law to multi-actor migration management situations. In particular, we identify four types of EU arrangements with third countries that raise questions of human rights compatibility or responsibility attribution: the use of safe third country concepts; return and readmission agreements; funding, equipment and training of border control and migration management authorities in third states; and the deployment of Frontex officers in third states, most notably joint operations undertaken by Frontex in Serbia. The chapter provides an account of the principles of attribution of responsibility under general international law for both the EU and its Member States, as well as the principles of responsibility attribution under relevant international and European human rights law instruments with a focus on the extraterritorial application of key treaties. Finally, we apply these principles to the specific forms of EU cooperation, suggesting situations where the conduct of the EU or its Member States may lead to attribution of responsibility for breaches of fundamental rights.
