Regularisation of migrants. One step forward, but much more could be done

May 18, 2020 - Andrea Oleandri
The impression that many gathered from the proposed measures to regularise foreign workers is that it they are targeting more “us” and our needs (fruit and vegetables that risk staying unpicked in the crops, the elderly and the sick who will need assistance when the people they live with go back to work), than “them” and their right to dignity. It is one step forward, that is for sure, but with how many missed opportunities? Andrea Oleandri analyses them.

May 27, 2020 - Giacomo Zandonini
Detention of irregular migrants is still the main instrument used to track down and repatriate unwelcome people, even when - like during a pandemic - this is not allowed. Giacomo Zandonini tells us how the Coronavirus emergency in Europe is leaving migrants’ detention unchanged.

Migrants in Libya, trapped between war and Covid-19

May 5, 2020 - Nancy Porsia
Since the beginning of April, thousands of men, women and children trapped in Libya have been put at sea heading towards Europe. Estimations say that around 800 migrants left the Libyan shores in the second week of April alone. While the government in Tripoli sent thirty doctors to Italy to contribute to the fight against Covid-19, Italy and Malta declared their ports “unsafe” due to the health emergency, closing their borders to migrants on the Central Mediterranean route. Meanwhile, official detention centres refuse migrants, while dungeons run by militias have their doors wide open. Reporter Nancy Porsia describes what it means to be trapped in a country at war during a pandemic.

April 22, 2020 - Romina Vinci
Preaching about social distancing is no easy task when you live in a small and cramped space. Expecting the correct behaviours to be followed under poor hygiene conditions can be quite challenging. The foreigners who try and convey this concept to their families back in their home countries know this pretty well. Romina Vinci gives us a glimpse of a class of adults in Lombardy, Italy, in the middle of the Coronavirus emergency.

Migration, asylum and border management: the new role of Frontex in the aftermath of the “refugee crisis”

April 3, 2019 - David Fernández Rojo
The so-called “refugee crisis” prompted the urge to ensure the functioning of the Schengen area and the Common European Asylum System (CEAS), the need to operationally assist those Member States most affected by the sudden and extraordinary arrival of mixed migratory flows, and the convenience to effectively and uniformly implement the European Union (EU) measures adopted in regards to migration, asylum and border management matters. David Fernández Rojo - researcher at the University of Deusto - analyses in this article the significant reinforcements of the operational tasks entrusted to the EU decentralised agencies FRONTEX, EASO and EUROPOL in the aftermath of the "refugee crisis".

In the same week when the Italian Senate approved an even tougher version of the Salvini bill on security and immigration, more than 40,000 people marched in Rome to protest racism and the government’s asylum policies.

In the hands of the Libyan Coast Guard: pushbacks by proxy

June 28, 2018 - Laura Clarke
In the first five months of the year, over 42 per cent of migrants who departed from Libya for Italy and survived the journey were returned to Libyan shores. This compares to approximately 11 per cent in the same period in 2017. The increase is to be seen in the context of the "pushback by proxy" strategy adopted by Italy through the activities of the Libyan coast guard.
