While a proposal to activate the 2001 Temporary Protection Directive for Ukrainians fleeing the country was “broadly welcomed” by the ministers during their extraordinary meeting on Sunday (27 February), a formal decision will only be made on Thursday, EU Home Affairs and Migration Commissioner Ylva Johansson said after the talks. Once activated, the directive would stay in force for one year, unless it is prolonged, and would allow Ukrainians to take immediate, temporary refuge in the EU without going through a standard asylum process. Beyond the question of refugees’ entry into EU territory, it also remains unclear how they will be distributed among member states. read more

La Repubblica Dominicana sta costruendo un muro al confine con Haiti, il paese con cui divide l’isola caraibica di Hispaniola, a est di Cuba e della Giamaica. Il muro sorgerà lungo i circa 392 chilometri di confine che separano i due paesi e secondo le autorità dominicane contribuirà a limitare il passaggio dei migranti, ma permetterà anche di controllare maggiormente il traffico di droga, armi e prodotti di contrabbando. read more

Until recently, the bodies of missing refugees and migrants were found scattered all over the Aegean Sea, two months after the tragic shipwrecks in Paros, Folegandros and Antikythera. The survivors – relatives and companions of these people who are anxiously searching for clues about their fate, instead of receiving the necessary psychosocial care under dignified reception conditions, were taken to the Pre-removal Detention Centre (PROKEKA) in Amygdaleza where they remained in administrative detention for more than a month. The recent shipwrecks have once again highlighted the huge shortcomings in the information, support and care of survivors, in the coordination of the management of shipwreck victims such as the protocol for the search and identification of the missing and dead respectively and the referral to an appropriate reception facility. read more
Spaking at a news briefing in Cairo on Wednesday (February 23), the Hungarian foreign minister Peter Szijjarto urged the EU to step up efforts and funding to assist the Egyptian government in its attempt to deal with migration. He also said that such EU support should be intended to further help Egypt in boosting its border security with some neighboring counties which have been plagued with conflict for years. The comment was regarded as an apparent reference to Libya and Sudan. read more

Mentre il mondo è col fiato sospeso per l’acuirsi degli scontri in Ucraina, un altro aspetto delle tensioni tra Ue e blocco orientale sembra invece essere ormai dimenticato. Le centinaia di persone sul confine tra Polonia e Bielorussia restano però sospese tra violenze, respingimenti e mancanza di prospettive. Un centinaio di loro ha iniziato uno sciopero della fame nel centro che li ospita a Wędrzyn, ce lo racconta Christian Elia. read more

In the dispute over the detention of the sea rescue ships "Sea-Watch", Italian authorities have won a stage victory before the ECJ. According to the ECJ Advocate General, the ships were allowed to be inspected and detained - but not without restrictions. At the centre of the legal dispute are the questions of whether Italy exceeded its competences and whether the ships are to be seen as rescue ships or cargo ships. read more

On the night of Friday 18 to Saturday 19 February, the so-called "Libyan coastguard" fired live ammunition at a boat containing around 80 migrants, including women and children. The exiles were trying to avoid being intercepted at sea and sent back to Libya. According to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), one person was killed and three injured. The IOM "condemns in the strongest terms the excessive use of force by the Libyan stabilisation support apparatus", namely the coast guard. The UN agency is calling for an investigation to be launched to shed light on this "incident" and to punish those responsible. read more
