This was proven once again last week in the tragic shipwreck of a boat full of men, women and children, around 50 miles away from the southern Greek town of Pylos.

Key Points: 
  • This was proven once again last week in the tragic shipwreck of a boat full of men, women and children, around 50 miles away from the southern Greek town of Pylos.
  • But activist groups, including Alarm Phone, an emergency hotline for refugees in distress in the Mediterranean, have contested this account.
  • Mixed reports and timelines have continued to come out, and survivors’ stories and experiences are now starting to be reported.

    Turning back migrant boats: what does the international law of the sea say?

Pushbacks

    • What this means in practice has become clear with accusations and mounting evidence that the Hellenic coastguard is conducting illegal pushbacks, preventing access to the right to claim asylum once a person has entered a state’s territory.
    • Human rights advocates, MEPs and other non-governmental organisations have repeatedly accused both the Hellenic coastguard and Frontex (the European border and coastguard agency) of involvement in pushbacks.
    • One reason may very well be the growing awareness of the risk of pushbacks.

Deterrence policies

    • In 2016, Donald Tusk, then president of the European Council, warned people making the dangerous crossings to the EU.
    • He said: “Do not come to Europe.
    • It is all for nothing.” Statements like this wrongly suggest that people make these journeys out of choice, that a far easier alternative exists.
