Fundamental Rights Training for Border Guards. Trainers’ manuel

The fundamental rights manual for border-guard trainers was written by a working group of border management experts and fundamental rights practitioners. It was drafted in accordance with the latest international and European human rights standards.

The manual takes into consideration the complexity of the duties performed by officials at the border. In this respect, we have taken great care to remain as close as possible to the everyday reality of officers, endeavouring to use user friendly language and avoiding jargon when possible.

The goal of the manual is to support trainers in their duty to prepare border guards on how to conform to their regional and international human rights obligations.

The manual demonstrates how fundamental rights permeate and advance their professional lives. It shows how important it is for border guards to know their own rights and entitlements,
