Norwegian Peace Building Centre: Libya and EU migration policy (pdf): "Few analysts have pointed to the implications of EU-Libya cooperation on migration issues or the plight of illegal immigrants who may be caught up in the Libyan conflict. Since sanctions were lifted in 2004, Libya has become one of the EU’s key partners in its efforts to control migration in the Mediterranean. Several organisations have condemned the violation of migrants’ human rights in Libya, while the EU has consistently disregarded these criticisms when authorising the return of migrants from Italy to Libya. The conflicts sweeping across the countries of North Africa provide a timely opportunity for analysing the serious consequences of a policy which shifts community migration control to non-community countries."
