Abstract

Specific situational pictures are interfaces centralising continuously updated information about the situation at the external borders of the EU and dedicated to being shared with third countries. Frontex operates them and shares them through working agreements with third countries. On the basis of the information received, third countries may engage in refoulement contrary to European and international law, for which the responsibility of Frontex as the sharer of critical information must be examined. Building upon the law of non-contractual liability of the EU, this paper aims at pinpointing the technical characteristics of specific situational pictures that hamper holding Frontex responsible for the refoulements carried out by third countries on the basis of information shared. This paper argues that the principle of non-refoulement in EU law contains the obligation not to share information susceptible of leading to refoulement. Compensating the damage of people undergoing refoulement by third countries informed by specific situational pictures operated by Frontex is challenging, as the multiplicity of actors, the automation of data updates and the lack of transparency of these situational pictures blurs the lines of the attribution of responsibility.

通过新技术实现驱回的外部化:欧盟非合同责任视角下的 Frontex 具体情况图片案例
具体情况图片是集中了有关欧盟外部边界情况的持续更新信息的界面,专门用于与第三国共享。Frontex 通过与第三国签订工作协议来管理和共享这些信息。根据所收到的信息,第三国可能会违反欧洲法律和国际法实施驱回,为此必须审查 Frontex 作为重要信息共享者的责任。本文以欧盟的非合同责任法为基础,旨在指出具体情境图片的技术特点,这些特点妨碍了 Frontex 对第三国根据共享信息实施的驱回行为负责。本文认为,欧盟法律中的不驱回原则包含了不共享可能导致驱回的信息的义务。由于行为者的多重性、数据更新的自动化以及这些形势图缺乏透明度,模糊了责任归属的界限。
