Charities criticise new rules on rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean introduced by Italy's right-wing government, saying they would result in more deaths
The new law requires vessels to head"without delay" to the Italian port assigned to them after each rescue, disregarding other people who could be in distress at sea.
"The Italian law decree contradicts international maritime, human rights and European law," the aid organisations, including Doctors Without Borders , said in a joint statement on Thursday. Such vessels often perform multiple rescues of people who get into trouble attempting the world's most dangerous crossing, before heading back to shore.
The problem was compounded by Rome's recent move to frequently assign the ships ports which are further from search and rescue areas, they said. "Asylum requests should be dealt with on dry land only, after disembarkation to a place of safety, and only once immediate needs are covered, as recently clarified by the UN Refugee Agency," they said.Parliament has two months to convert the decree into law. It can undergo changes in that time.
