In a press release on Tuesday (February 15), the Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights, Dunja Mijatovic said: "Disagreements with other member states about disembarkation responsibilities should never be allowed to put human rights -- including the right to life -- at risk or exempt the authorities from their non-refoulement obligations." In a report on her visit to Malta last October, Mijatovic also stressed that Libya is not a safe place to disembark migrants intercepted at sea. To that end, the commissioner urged Maltese authorities to review their cooperation with the so-called "Libya's coast guard", which returns migrants to the country in order to prevent unauthorised migration to Europe. read more

Il 'grande cimitero' del Mediterraneo evocato da Papa Francesco è tornato ad accogliere vittime in una domenica di naufragi e sbarchi tra la Libia e le coste siciliane e calabresi.

The border agency in Warsaw could deploy drones, vessels and personnel. It would be the first mission in a country that does not directly border the EU. Frontex is already active in the country, but without uniformed and armed police personnel. The new talks with Senegal are coordinated in the recently created „Operational Coordination Mechanism for the External Dimension of Migration“ (MOCADEM). The basis would be a „model status agreement“ drafted by the Commission on the basis of Frontex missions in the Western Balkans. Senegal is surrounded by more than 2,600 kilometres of external border, it is therefore possible that a Frontex operation in Senegal will not focus on securing the land borders as in the Western Balkans, but on monitoring the maritime border. read more

The commissioning of the planned deportation centre at BER is planned for 2025. The Greens and the Left are critical of the building project. "I was in deportation custody in Spain for a fortnight. All our things were taken from us. There were no windows, only bare walls, we didn't know if it was day or night," a woman refugee tells the 400 or so demonstrators who have gathered in Schönefeld on Wednesday evening. They are here to demonstrate against the planned entry and exit centre at BER airport. "Let's keep fighting until there are no more deportation centres," shouts the activist from the No Border Assembly Berlin to the cheers of those present.
