Lecture and discussion: Human rights overboard - When migration policy costs lives - Europe's course and sea rescue

What impact does the increasingly repressive course of European migration policy have on the rescue of refugees at sea? Anna di Bari, board member of the Osnabrück-based partner organization Sea-Eye, as well as Ahmed Jemaa and Isabelle Pooth from the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies (IMIS) report on the current challenges resulting from the tightened political framework conditions and classify them. People die almost every day in the Mediterranean and at other locations on Europe's external borders. However, this is rarely reported in the media. The conditions for refugees are being tightened further and further by the European states. The decreasing number of arrivals is sold as a success, human fates are suppressed. Harshness on the outside is increasingly becoming harshness on the inside. But there are still people who stand up for humanity and against exclusion and rejection. The city of Osnabrück maintains a sponsorship with the sea rescue organization Sea-Eye and the local group of Seebrücke organizes support for their rescue missions. How the sea rescue organizations are changing their strategies in order to continue saving lives will be one of the topics of discussion.
