On 24 February 2026, the DROI Subcommittee held an exchange of views on the human rights dimension of the externalisation of migration and asylum policies worldwide. The Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, Michael O’Flaherty, presented his report on the topic. Speakers also included Frontex Fundamental Rights Officer Jonas Grimheden, and Samira Bouslama, Senior Human Rights Officer at the United Nations Support Mission in Libya.

The exchange centered on the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights' report 'Externalised asylum and migration policies and human rights law', as Commissioner Michael O'Flaherty outlined the human rights implications of externalised asylum and return arrangements, including risks to core safeguards, accountability gaps and compliance with non-refoulement.

Against the background of intensifying cooperation with third countries, Jonas Grimheden, Frontex Fundamental Rights Officer, addressed how fundamental rights compliance is monitored in Frontex operations and partnerships, while Samira Bouslama, Senior Human Rights Officer at the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, presented findings on the human rights consequences of interceptions and returns to Libya.
