The Mediterranean: monitoring, research, identification

Detention, illegalisation and the so-called CEAS reform in southern Italy - monitoring the situation of refugees in the light of the European migration pact’
In September 2024 our new project began, carried out by the organisations borderline-europe and Maldusa, managed by the Forschungsgesellschaft Flucht und Migration, and supported by the Protestant Church in Hessen and Nassau (EKHN), the Protestant Church in the Rhineland (EKIR), LeaveNoOneBehind and Pro Asyl!


"Invisible: The unworthy treatment of refugees in Sicily"
Together with Arci Porco Rosso and the Sans Papiers Drop-In, we want to make visible the daily problems that refugees and migrants have to deal with. This monitoring is specifically aimed at the problems in Sicily and in particular in the western provinces of the island. In the next months we will regularly publish articles of Arci Porco Rosso on our homepage.
"Invisible" is supported by the Evangelical Church in Rhineland and Pro Asyl (2023)

Mem.Med is an operative project arose on site, with the purpose of searching for and identifying migrants who died at sea and bearing witness to the violence of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Mediterranean: monitoring, research, identification

borderline-europe is involved in two very different MONITORING projects:

  • "Invisible" is about the situation of refugees in Sicily.
  • In ‘Detention, illegalisation and the so-called CEAS reform in southern Italy’, the focus is on the implementation of the European Pact on Migration at the EU's external border. The project started in September 2024.
  • Mem.Med is a cooperation project between many entities that carefully focus on the people who have not made it through the dangerous crossing of the Mediterranean Sea. borderline-europe supports the project through volunteers.

The criminalisation of people on the move and those who are in solidarity with them has been a widespread strategy for years.

Externalisation of EU Migration Policy

Modern border control no longer takes place at the barrier. Externalisation of the EU's external borders means outsourcing control via pushbacks, pullbacks and visa refusals, and is always associated with the use of force and a lot of money for the respective governments.In future, even asylum applications will be processed in closed centres. Here are our articles on restrictions on freedom of movement and border fortifications.
