TL;DR Summary

The European Union court has dismissed a landmark case brought against the EU border agency Frontex by a Syrian family alleging unlawful deportation, stating that the agency is not authorized to make "return decisions." This decision is seen as a setback for asylum seekers and activists seeking accountability for rights abuses at Europe's borders. The case, if successful, would have been the first to hold Frontex responsible for human rights violations. The ruling raises questions about Frontex's mandate and the need for accountability in EU institutions.
