New director, same tragedy
5 July 2022 – On Monday 4 July Frontex announced that its Management Board, made up of representatives of EU countries’ border authorities – mostly police officers active at national level -, has appointed Aija Kalnaja as Executive Director ad interim for the agency. This follows the resignation of former director Fabrice Leggeri in April 2022, amidst ongoing investigations by EU’s anti-fraud watchdog OLAF into Frontex‘s role concerning allegations of harassment, misconduct and illegal pushbacks. Kalnaja was already acting Executive Director since the departure of Leggeri.
Grano: una guerra globale
Secondo molti osservatori internazionali, la guerra in corso in Ucraina si esprimerebbe non solo mediante l’uso dell’artiglieria pesante e di milizie ufficiali o clandestine, responsabili di migliaia di morti, stupri e deportazioni. Esisterebbero, infatti, anche altri campi sui quali il conflitto, da tempo, si sarebbe spostato e che ne presuppongono un allargamento a livello globale. Uno di questi ha mandato in fibrillazione gli equilibri mondiali, con effetti diretti sulle economie di numerosi paesi e sulla vita, a volte sulla sopravvivenza, di milioni di persone. Si tratta della cosiddetta “battaglia globale del grano”, i cui effetti sono evidenti, anche in Occidente, con riferimento all’aumento dei prezzi di beni essenziali come il pane, la pasta o la farina, a cui si aggiungono quelli dei carburanti, oli vari, energia elettrica e legno.

Gaining Ground: Promising Practice to Reduce & End Immigration Detention
Immigration detention represents one of the most flagrant human rights violations of our time. In recent years, IDC has seen a number of governments begin to recognise that effective and feasible alternatives to detention (ATD) do exist. This paper was written to provide an overview of practical examples and recent developments in the field of alternatives to detention (ATD), in order to highlight promising practice and encourage further progress in this area. It aims to inspire and embolden governments, local authorities, international organisations, civil society and community actors and other stakeholders, with steps they can take to move away from the use of immigration detention. This report includes an Annex compiling short country profiles for the 47 countries included in the research mapping.
