SUMMARY:Apéro du droit européen. Strategic litigation for upholding migrant rights: The case of 'pullbacks' in the Mediterranean before the European Court of Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:As increasingly sophisticated practices of interception and pullback take place in the Mediterranean\, less and less migrants arrive to Europe\, while mortality rates increase. \nThe European Court of Human Rights has addressed these practices with force in its 2012 Hirsi Jamaa v Italy judgement\, where it found that the practice of directly returning to Libya migrants intercepted on the high seas was illegal and amounted to refoulement. \nSince then\, however\, Italy and the EU have found new ways to intercept and pullback migrants\, apparently without engaging their international responsibility. From becoming directly involved in interception at sea\, they implemented policies of cooperation\, training and support which enabled the Libyan Coastguard to intercept and return refugees and migrants to Libya. In general\, little is known about these events and the fate of the persons who are returned\, facing the risk of arbitrary detention\, inhuman and degrading conditions\, torture\, sexual violence\, and forced labour. Moreover\, it is extremely difficult for migrants to find appropriate avenues to access justice. \nIn an hostile political climate and when neither the EU nor Member States seem willing to uphold their international human rights commitments\, could a new Hirsi Jamaa change European migration policy and maritime border controls? \n**Programme** \nLecture by:\nDr. Moritz Baumgärtel\, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law\, Economics and Governance of Utrecht University \nWith interventions of:\n– Fabiane Baxewanos\, Legal Officer\, UNHCR Bureau for Europe\n– Dr. Violeta Moreno Lax (video intervention)\, Global Legal Action Network Lawyer and Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London \nThe discussion will be moderated by Emmanuelle Bribosia\, EU Law and Fundamental Rights Professor at the IEE-ULB. \nThe event will be followed by an apéro offered by the IEE and the Centre de droit européen de l’Université libre de Bruxelles. \nParticipation is free but registration is required for those who want to attend the apéro following the seminar.
