Africa: European Commission's Announcement On Migration - Right Words, but No Solutions

press release

Today's announcement by the European Commission on managing the migration crisis in the Mediterranean contains the right analysis of the overall situation, but offers no concrete solutions to protecting and saving lives, said Amnesty International.

"We agree that a European solution to the search and rescue crisis is urgently needed, but that's not being offered here. Member states need to step up and chip in. Extending operation Triton without increasing its assets and operational area changes absolutely nothing," said Iverna McGowan, acting director of Amnesty International European Institutions Office.
