It was not followed, unfortunately, by EU choices, and this caused the loss of many lives, as it will be shown. At present, border surveillance and the fight against trafficking and smuggling of migrants seem to be the priorities in EU policy and action.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0The EU Asylum \u201cDublin System\u201d is now facing a huge crisis and the new models, in particular the \u201cStatement\u201d agreed with Turkey, as well as bilateral treaties with States like Libya, do not convince from a legal point of view, because migrants deserve a special attention, based on human rights international standards, and refugees have the right to be recognized 1951 Geneva Convention principles, mainly the <\/em>non-refoulement<em> principle. To this it must be added that our analysis shows that the entire international legal framework seems to be inadequate, as it was adopted to regulate situations of distress different from the current massive phenomenon of migration in the Mediterranean Sea. An effort is necessary for good faith compliance not only with Law of the Sea obligations, but also with those arising from complementary sources of refugee and human rights law. <\/em><em>The time has come, therefore, for the international community, for EU Member States in particular, to exit the logic of emergency and formulate a lasting policy to manage migrations, implementing EU Lisbon Treaty and EU Charter Fundamental Rights\u2019 principles based on solidarity and respect of human rights, as well as on true cooperation among States.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25a0Language<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>English<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25a0Audience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Students, faculty members\u00a0and general public<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25a0Admission<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Free<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u25a0Date &amp; Time Monday,\u00a029\u00a0January 2018, 16:30-18:00 \u25a0Venue Room 308, Bldg.8, Waseda Campus \u25a0Title \u201cMigration [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2866,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[83,101],"class_list":["post-3129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-events-en","tag-en-ga"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
