UNHCR Urges European Countries to Rescue Migrants

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has urged EU Member-States to increase efforts in order to prevent migrant drownings off the Mediterranean coast.

UNHCR representative in Germany Franck Ramsus said migrants should not be left alone, especially following “operation Irini”, a new naval EU mission representing the practical realization of the truce reached in January at the Berlin Conference, where international backers of Libyan factions agreed to abstain from supplying weapons. This new operation is directed at enforcing the arms embargo established by the UN Security Council but never properly implemented.

IRINI, officially announced by High Representative Joseph Borrell on 31st March 2020, has been negotiated between representatives of Member States since February and received the green light on March 27th by the Council of the EU.

According to AGPS data, 57 Palestinians from Syria, mostly women, children, and elderly refugees, drowned onboard the death boats to Europe, fleeing the tattered Syrian territories.
