This article analyses the Memorandum of Understanding on a Strategic and Global Partnership that the European Commission concluded with Tunisia on 23 July 2023, situating it within the wider move to externalise migration control through partnerships with third countries. It assesses the MoU in terms of human-rights compliance, democratic and judicial scrutiny, and the European Commission’s legal obligations, and notes the criticism that the deal may implicate fundamental-rights violations and reflects an informal, opaque approach by the Commission.
The relationship between outsourcing migration control through the EU-Tunisia Memorandum of Understanding and migrants’ fundamental rights, democratic and judicial control, and the European Commission’s legal obligations.
