Italian Ship Accused of Taking Migrants Back to Libya for First Time
31st July 2018
A rescue operation in which an Italian towboat rescued more than 100 migrants and returned them to Libya earlier this week may have been in breach of international law, the United Nations said on Tuesday.
A spokesman for the U.N. migration agency said it could not establish the location of the rescue, which is key to establishing migrants’ rights, although some other parties involved in the case have made contradictory assertions about the incident including where it took place.
‘Migrants’ rights’? Is there some sort of ‘right to invade a country not your own’ of which I was unaware?
