UN tells Italy proposed decree violates migrants’ rights

The Italian interior ministry vowed Sunday to press ahead with a new decree formalizing the closure of Italian ports to aid groups that rescue migrants, even after U.N. human rights investigators said it violated international law.

It was issued as a ship carrying more than 40 migrants from the German aid group Sea-Watch remained off the island of Lampedusa waiting for a port to disembark its passengers. Sea-Watch said it had flouted Italy’s ban and entered Italian territorial waters on Saturday for humanitarian reasons. The U.N. letter says the measures would violate migrants’ human rights, which are enshrined in U.N. conventions that Italy has signed. It said Italy is obliged to rescue migrants in distress and can’t impede others from doing so. And it says that Libya can’t be considered a safe port for migrants rescued at sea, particularly after the recent spike in fighting.

Oh, well. Italy has a right to protect its borders, and control its' own Immigration, unless, of course, they were foolish enough, like Canada, to sign the UN Compact for Migration .

Don't Italians have rights too? I'm tired of listening to the corrupt UnitedNations lecturing democratically elected governments how to run their affairs. Corruption StopTheMadness immigration

UN is corrupt.

They don’t have any “rights”! lol Better headline 'UN tells sovereign nations they have no right to protect their borders or respect the will of their citizens'.
