There are numerous rescue ships operating in the Mediterranean, however not enough to deal with the number of people in danger along one of the most dangerous migratory routes in the world.After the termination of the Mare Nostrum program in 2014, the Civil Fleet, the civilian fleet of monitoring and rescue ships active in the Mediterranean, has become practically the only resource for those risking their lives during the dangerous illegal crossing. The stretch of sea that extends from Libya or Tunisia to Italy represents a lethal physical barrier, especially for makeshift wooden or rubber boats, often recycled several times by traffickers.Until 2014, the Mare Nostrum operation, started in 2013 in response to the increase in shipwrecks in the Sicilian channel, it had a double mission:guarantee rescue at sea and criminally prosecute those who profit from the illegal trafficking of migrants.Shortly after the end of Mare Nostrum, replaced by Triton in 2014 - a European rather than jus...

Eight years have passed since the image of little Alan Kurdi, found dead on the beach in Bodrum, Turkey, together with 12 other people fleeing the war in Syria, went around the world. We wondered on whether or not to publish the photo of the 3 year old child's body.Those who had done so said they were convinced that that image would represent the point of no return: “If these images don't change Europe, what will?”, had headlined several newspapers.To hold those who govern to their responsibilities.That photo, it was written at the time, was the iconic representation, the "consequence", of political choices. This year the tenth anniversary was remembered of the Lampedusa shipwreck.It was October 3, 2013, when at least 368 people died in front of the island of Lampedusa, mostly Eritreans, fleeing from Libya.Even then, the images of the coffins lined up, white and small, shocked public opinion.Then, eight days later, there was “the shipwreck of the chil...

European First.It could be summarized like this the agreement on asylum and migration reached on 20 December after all-night negotiations between representatives of national governments, the European Parliament and the European Commission. After years of clashes and fractures, the European Union is consolidating, strengthening the walls of his fortress, erecting walls, elevating migrant people for a moment to a role that is difficult to maintain and then letting them fall.In the middle of the sea. We have been waiting for the reform of the European asylum and migration system for some time.There has been talk for years about the reform of the Dublin Regulation and, in particular, its key principle:that the country of entry be responsible for all asylum procedures even if those arriving do not intend to stay in the country where they arrive.There was great anticipation for this pact on asylum and migration because it will define the direction of EU migration policies for many yea...
