Capacity Building<br />
“We supported a number of<br />
states in further developing and<br />
improving their national forcedreturn<br />
capacities, ensuring the<br />
safeguarding of human rights<br />
of returnees.”<br />
We continued our capacity building activities through<br />
cooperation with countries of origin, transit, and<br />
des ti nation, strongly focusing on facilitating dialogues<br />
between various stakeholders at the national, regional,<br />
and international level. In this regard we, for example,<br />
offered capacity building measures and training in<br />
Pakistan and Turkey, focusing on cooperation and<br />
implementation of the EU–Pakistan and EU–Turkey<br />
readmission agreements with the aim to support<br />
their smooth implementation as well as the set up<br />
of necessary structures.<br />
<strong>ICMPD</strong>, together with eight partners and associated partner states, established a<br />
Euro pean PILOT Pool of Forced Return Monitors – consisting of independent and welltrained<br />
monitors available to states in need of monitors and FRONTEX for forced return<br />
oper ations. Forced return monitoring aims to ensure that human rights standards and<br />
legal obliga tions are met and returnees are treated in a manner compliant with national<br />
legislation and international human rights standards during forced return operations.<br />
We offer training and consultation in the field of forced return monitoring for any state<br />
in need of support.
