FRONTIER EUROPE
Human rights abuses on Greece’s border with Turkey
25
The EU and its member states should support the Greek government in ensuring the rights of
all migrants and refugees’ regardless of their legal status by shifting the emphasis away from
sealing off EU’s external borders and towards enhancing reception capacity and reception
conditions for asylum seekers, refugees and other vulnerable migrants as well as the
identification of vulnerable migrants and those in need of international protection at Greece’s
borders. At the same time, the EU should explore new ways of sharing responsibility with
Greece for the management of the mixed-migration flows it faces.
