On 23 November 2018, the Commissioner published a letter to the Spanish Congress and Senate on the review of the 2015 Law on Citizens’ Safety. In the letter, as regards the part of the Law which introduced special provisions regarding foreigners entering Ceuta and Melilla, the Commissioner stresses that “these amendments to the Aliens’ Act fail to provide clear guarantees against refoulement and collective expulsions as well as adequate safeguards for the right of every person to seek asylum, irrespective of the way they reach Spanish territory. I therefore strongly recommend that an obligation be imposed on the authorities to provide without delay the Guardia Civil with clear and mandatory guidance on how to act in compliance with international human rights standards when intercepting migrants at the borders of Ceuta and Melilla.”
