    EU and Libya collude in forcing refugees and migrants back to detention, abuse and exploitation in Libya. Happy now Ms Mogherini?

    For more than a decade, this paramount principle has been violated in such context, as it is evidenced in: Reinforcing the management of the European Union’s Southern Maritime Borders, Communication from the Commission to the Council, COM(2006) 733, 30.11.2006, p. 34.

    So why has so little been said about the collusion between Italy, Libya and the EU in violating this principle? The quote comes from this document:

    In fact, UNHCR policy is quite clear: "Persons rescued or intercepted at sea cannot be summarily turned back or otherwise returned to the country of departure, including in particular where to do so would deny them a fair opportunity to seek asylum."

    Does anyone know roughly what proportion of the migrants in detention in Libya are unable to repatriate because (a) they don't have the necessary documents; (b) their country of origin will not readmit them? and (c) what proportion simply don't want to return? Thanks.

    Super-complex stuff indeed, but here has managed to help me finally understand Law 10. Do read.

    Debate over the new Law 10 has framed it as a reconstruction law. In fact, it is an outgrowth of pre-war plans to address Syria's enormous illegal housing problem, but it is now—controversially—applied to bombed-out former rebel areas. Super-complex stuff:

    India-Pakistan (1940s). China (1950s). Biafra (1960s). Cambodia (1970s). Ethiopia (1980s). Liberia (1990s). Darfur (2000s). Plus many many others. Why are current humanitarian emergencies so often described as being "unprecedented"? Because people don't know the history?

    Let's hope that other parts of the organization are reading and acting upon this!

    We have to stop telling the same stories, with the same emotions and same plots that contribute to stereotypes and master narratives around refugee communities. And more importantly, refugees should be leading these stories themselves.

    My impression is that the refoulement issue has been conveniently swept under the carpet when it comes to the interception and return of foriegn nationals. Has anyone come out with an authoritative statement on this?
