Abstract
Human rights violations have occurred in Europe during the European migrant crisis. This master thesis will argue that the violations of migrants’ rights have been conditioned by the strong anti-immigration and many times even xenophobic rhetoric used primarily by the right-wing political parties in several EU countries. The use of violence has become legitimate on the state level as countries considered the massive inflow of migrants to Europe as a security threat for them. Due to the lack of common EU migration policies, countries acted individually which had further impact on the development of the situation.
