Summary/Abstract: We are witnesses of the alarming trend of human rights violations of irregular migrants, asylum-seekers and refugees in all parts of Europe which unfortunately also includes BiH. What was observed as a constant trend is the increase in control on border crossings aimed at discouraging/discovering migrants and their return to countries they came from. Examples of migrants, including asylum-seekers who tried entering the EU territory irregularly, witnessing illegal deprivation of liberty and being held in rooms reminiscent of detention, more frequent violent push-backs of migrants and asylum-seekers, inhumane conditions in accommodations in reception centres, limited access to health care and similar are common.
