Italy is preventing some irregular migrants who were rescued at sea from disembarking in the country, which global non-governmental organisations say is against international law
Selective and partial disembarkation"cannot be considered legal under maritime law conventions," says Doctors Without Borders.
Late on Sunday, Italian officials allowed only 357 of 572 irregular migrants on board a rescue boat to disembark, local media reported. According to local media, Italian authorities boarded the ship and evaluated the health of the migrants one by one and gave the green light to the disembarkation of only 357 of them who were considered vulnerable, while the other 215 remained on the ship.
Earlier on Sunday, Italy allowed a German-flagged rescue ship to enter a port in Sicily and disembark women, children and ill migrants. “On Monday, SOS Humanity takes legal action against the decree of the Italian government & the prevention of the disembarkation of 35 rescued people from the #Humanity1! Italy's actions violate European law & the Geneva Refugee Convention,” the NGO said on Twitter.
