Today, Frontex Fundamental Rights Officer Jonas Grimheden presented the Vision of the Fundamental Rights Office. This document outlines the identity, values and core dimensions of the its work.
"This long-term strategic vision lays out a clear path forward for how we protect, promote and monitor fundamental rights in everything Frontex does," he said.
The Vision supports Frontex’s goal to be a reliable and adaptable partner, guided by intelligence-driven and priority-based decisions. The Fundamental Rights Office strengthens this mission by introducing values such as objectivity and actionability, and six guiding dimensions: Independence, Mainstreaming, People-centred approach, Accountability, Collaboration and Trustworthiness. All of these are geared toward achieving meaningful IMPACT.
Looking ahead, Mr Grimheden added: "It is vital that the Fundamental Rights Office is recognised as a trustworthy and integral partner at Europe's borders. This vision is our compass. It will guide our work on the journey ahead."
