eugenonegin Posted July 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Italy has had enough. They are considering blocking any refugee boats not picked up by their own rescue ships. I don't blame them, but it goes against maritime law:http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/eu-crisis-refugee-migrant-italy-block-rescue-boats-paris-summit-a7819656.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likely Guy Posted July 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Yeah, more countries should take in refugees to take some of the weight off Italy. *waits for it* Edited July 3, 2017 by Likely Guy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papageorge1 Posted July 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) I've been pondering this. Why doesn't Italy safely receive them and then safely ship them back to the port they left from. This may be the best way to stop all this from happening again and again. The word will get out quickly not to try this method. The first group or two that this happens to might be stranded back in Africa but this may prevent future attempts. people dying at sea and money exhorting schemes by the agents coordinating this mess.

The Caspian Hare Posted July 3, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Quote Most of the migrant boats come from Libya following the UK-based removal of dictator Muammar Gaddafi. This allowed smugglers to set up lucrative trafficking routes from African nations, the Middle East and Bangladesh to Europe. Great idea that was Somewhere in hell Gaddaffi is laughing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, they are not citizen of the country they sailed from. They usually don't have their original papers either, so they don't have a returnee address. If they want to apply as official refugees, they'll have to give more info, but it will take months for the authorities to find where to send them back. In the meanwhile, they could jail them I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be harsh to the first boatloads but the word must get out that this must be stopped. To save future lives this might be the best thing. These crazy undocumented life threatening journeys should be stopped. I am willing to listen if you think this is wrong. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that some of these so called refugees go back and fight for isis and than are allowed back into a host nation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you could prove the boat came from say, Libya, Italy still has no business to send illegals in Libya if they aren't citizen of the country. It as if United States would send Salvadorian in Canada because they don't want them around. You can't do that, it's not legal. If you can prove the refugees are Libyans, then you can send them back. But if they were originally from Mali, the only country the international law will allow you to deport them is Mali. And things get even more complicated with stateless people who are not citizen of any country. The best you could do is build a artificial island in international water and send them there. Or send them to very far away islands like Crozet Islands or South Sandwich Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mali person must have already been in Libya to have left from there. His status in Libya is not in Italy's jurisdiction to address. That's what I was thinking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingitsune Posted July 3, 2017 #19 Share Posted July 3, 2017 But legally, it's too late once the Malian as left Libyan waters you can no longer send him back. A better strategy would be to blockade Libyan waters so no boat can leave without your approval. At that moment, you can still turn the Malian back to Libya. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But international laws are made by nations and changes can be made to address situations not originally envisioned by the laws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartikg Posted July 3, 2017 #22 Share Posted July 3, 2017 after reading the above discussion regarding legal problems in sending them back may I suggest an extreme step of just shooting and drowning the boats as soon as they enter Italian waters? if this happens just once it will stop the illegal migration .

We can`t even monitor the ones walking across the border. Let alone the ones we actualy let in. No ID no entry that would be my rule. Then bill them for the plane ticket home as that would work lol Edited July 3, 2017 by The Silver Thong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Caspian Hare Posted July 3, 2017 #25 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Rules will always be fudged when a big crisis hit anyway, send them back to the country you think they are from or the country they set sail from. Don't like it? Don't come. Keep helping them and they will continue to arrive. They need to know they will not be welcome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
