International Protection at risk in the Mediterranean

Abstract
The external dimension of the European migration and asylum policy has de facto delegated EU borders' control to third countries. Despite the EU talk in favour of a 'human and humane approach' to address migration in the Mediterranean, EU policy tools do not pursue migrants' rights within the framework of EU-cooperation with Mediterranean southern countries. This organized hypocrisy needs to be investigated.
