To mark the 10th anniversary of SOS Humanity, a press conference was held at which the report ‘Borders of (In)humanity’ was presented. This sheds light on the effects of EU border policy and the outsourcing of responsibility to third countries such as Libya and Tunisia, documented by eyewitness accounts of rescued people.

The Central Mediterranean remains one of the world’s deadliest escape routes. But instead of standing up for the rights of people on the move and against deaths at sea, the EU continues to focus on compartmentalisation and the externalisation of refugee protection. This is at the expense of people on the move, as our report ‘Borders of (In)Humanity’ shows.
