European Ombudsman calls for changes to EU rescue rules after 'Adriana' sinking. The tragedy off the Greek coast, with hundreds of deaths, shows that Frontex cannot fulfill its “human rights obligations”, says Emiliy O'Reilly.

“It is not unlikely that a tragedy like that of the Adriana will be repeated, unless significant changes are made to the legal and operational framework to respond to maritime emergencies,” warns the European Ombudsman.
