Italian-Libyan Pacts on Migration - How a renovated partnership is negatively impacting the rights of people on the move

As a destination country along one of the world’s deadliest migration routes, the Central Mediterranean Sea, Italy has a long history of dealing with people on the move. In fact, by departing from North African countries such as Tunisia and Libya, people who flee their country of origin for social, political or economic reasons try to reach the safe territories of the European Union. Even though this phenomenon is well established by now, Italy’s migration policy has been inconsistent and harmful towards people on the move. In particular, the ongoing deals between Italy and Libya are enabling violent push- and pullbacks of people intercepted at sea and are breaching many international obligations concerning human rights. Despite the different tools which have been used to formalise the cooperation between the two countries, this partnership represents a common thread in the succession of Italy’s many governments throughout time. Article available in English and Italian.

Jahresbericht 2023: Widerstand gegen das europäische Grenzregime

2023 war kein gutes Jahr für die Menschenrechte. Kriege, Konflikte, wirtschaftliche Not und klimatische Veränderungen haben viele Menschen gezwungen, ihre Heimat zu verlassen. Gleichzeitig konnten wir eine fortschreitende Externalisierung der EU-Außengrenzen beobachten. Politisch scheint in der EU alles dafür getan zu werden, die Festung Europa zu stärken. Damit sollen möglichst viele Menschen davon abgehalten werden, Schutz in der EU zu suchen. Die Leidtragenden all dieser Entwicklungen sind, wie immer, die Flüchtenden selbst. Bei alldem können wir nicht tatenlos zuschauen. Deshalb haben wir auch 2023 kritisch beobachtet, dokumentiert, informiert und interveniert. Die Ergebnisse unserer Arbeit findet ihr im folgenden Bericht.

Deconstruct Solidarity in the EU

The European Union prides itself on the concept of "solidarity." We want to look behind the scenes of this concept and ask in this article: What does solidarity actually mean in the context of the EU-ropean asylum system? In the following, we engage with the example of the EU ad hoc relocation mechanism, used as a blueprint for the so-called Voluntary Solidarity Mechanism (VSM), to illustrate that the concept of solidarity is not only experiencing a crisis but, in our understanding, must be deconstructed and completely rethought within the EU.
