Matteo Salvini, alors ministre de l’Intérieur italien, avait interdit le débarquement. Carola Rackete est passée outre. Son geste a été salué en Europe et sur les réseaux sociaux.

Fondamentalement, ce n’est pas un problème pour les humains de trouver des solutions L’AUTRICE créatives. Nous sommes une espèce très inventive ! » Il est temps d’agir, prévient-elle. De changer.

  • Carola Rackete. Looking for a “Safe Harbour” Against Hate
    Carola Rackete. Looking for a “safe harbour” against hate Paola Andrisani It is on June 12, 2019, when Carola Rackete1 rescues at sea 52 migrants from Libya with the ship that commands, the Sea-Watch 3, flying the Dutch flag and owned by the German NGO Sea Watch. Despite the Libyan Coast Guard has formally taken over the coordination of the rescue, the Sea Watch has arrived first at the site of the event and therefore immediately started operations of recovery of shipwrecked people. They are located on an inflatable boat in precarious conditions, without sufficient fuel to reach the mainland, and on board nobody wears a life jacket. Recovery operations concluded, the commander requests the assignment of a "place of safety" to different maritime authorities, receiving a response from Libyans who have indicated that they can head to the port of Tripoli. Carola replies that Libya cannot be qualified as a “safe harbour”, and she requires another one. In the meantime, she heads north, repeating the request for mooring. Carola then asks for permission to enter an Italian port, but on the 15th of June the Minister of the Interior (at the time of the events, Matteo Salvini) orders the first entry ban against the Sea Watch 3, in implementation of the so-called “security decree two”, as soon as it enters into force, in accordance with the provisions of Article 12. In the following days, while the ship is stationed in front of Italian territorial waters, repeating the request for the allocation of a harbour where to dock, the authorities will evacuate some migrants in need of urgent medical care.

In December 2018, the Democracy in Europe Movement (DiEM25) and the Sanders Institute issued an open call to form a common front in the fight against a rising authoritarianism. The year that followed has been described as a ‘Wave of Global Protest.’ From Delhi to Paris, Santiago to Beirut, citizens rose up to defend democracy, demand a decent standard of living, and protect the planet for future generations. 2020 is the year that we unite these disparate protests in a Progressive International, bringing together activists and organizers, trade unions and tenant associations, political parties and social movements to build a shared vision of democracy, solidarity, and sustainability. The stakes could not be higher. The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed the urgent need for universal healthcare, worker protections, and international cooperation. Only a Progressive International can match the scale of these challenges and stand up for collective rights against those that would profit from fear, bigotry,

  • The Backlash Against Human Rights in the Mediterranean: a Case Study of Relations Between Non-State Actors and the Italian State
    The Backlash Against Human Rights In The Mediterranean: A Case Study of Relations Between Non-State Actors and the Italian State by Amalia Ordóñez Vahí A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Program in International Relations New York University May 2020 Professor Roy Germano Professor Anna Di Lellio A migrant boat is assisted by the Spanish NGO Proactiva Open Arms in October 2016 ©Aris Messinis “‘Are all these deaths really necessary?’ is the question we systematically address to political powers. Why? Because we have taken the arbitrary and radical decision to help the people society has decided to sacrifice… Consequently, if humanitarian action is to be consistent, it will inevitably clash with the established order. Jean Hervé Bradol, Former President of Doctors Without Borders France Abstract The year 2015 has become known as the beginning of the so-called “refugee crisis” in Europe, as over a million people arrived in the continent, mostly by crossing the Mediterranean and the Greek border. Figures from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for subsequent years show yearly arrivals ranging steadily between 300,000 and 120,000. With the central Mediterranean being the busiest route, and after a series of high-profile shipwrecks, Italy launched a naval operation aimed at rescuing those attempting the sea crossing. A number of NGOs and civil society initiatives started to launch their own rescue missions to support the Italian effort, and in the absence of a common European operation. When Italy asked for more help from the EU, the response was to launch a security mission with no mandate for search and rescue, while the EU signed agreements with countries that international and human rights organizations deem unsafe, like Libya.
