title = "Which Borders for the EU Immigration Policy?: Yardsticks of International Protection for EU Joint Borders Management",
abstract = "This chapter analyses and comments on the legal framework regulating Frontex activities and the relevant practice in order to assess their compliance with international protection obligations. Analysis of the composition and functions of Frontex highlights how European Union (EU) member states still control the decision-making process and the operative activities. The review of the relevant practice (with a focus on Frontex joint operations) shows how participating states violate, or may violate, obligations deriving from human rights and asylum law. This chapter affirms that there is currently a political and legal momentum for directing EU policy in the fields of irregular immigration and external borders towards an enhanced respect and enforcement of international protection obligations, and towards better governance of EU external borders.",
