This report summarizes the experiences gathered in 2012 in the course of the project “Asylum Seekers’ Access to Territory and Asylum Procedure in the Republic of Hungary” (Border Monitoring Project).
The Border Monitoring Project continued to be implemented in 2012 according to the tripartite agreement (Tripartite Agreement) concluded on 28 December 2006 by the Hungarian Helsinki Committee (HHC), the National Police Headquarters (Police) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The report is based on individual border monitoring visits and gives an account of the events and activities organized by the parties of the Tripartite Agreement in 2012. The report does not include an explanation of the rights of foreigners, or an account of the police facilities visited, as the detailed description of these are included in the report on the program’s first year in 2007.
In accordance with the Tripartite Agreement, the parties met twice during 2012, on 5 March 2012 and 4 January 2013 under the framework of the Working Group – created by Section 1 of Chapter V of the Tripartite Agreement (“Working Group”) – to evaluate the Project’s experiences. The parties continued to place great importance on tripartite cooperation efforts, as well as the joint assessment of practical issues and a professional working relationship, as it facilitates efficient cooperation among the parties implementing the Agreement. It also results in the effective exchange of information and positively influences the practice of the collaborating parties. |
