Deaths at Europe's borders, Liz Fekete. Race and Class Vol. 45 no 4, 2004, pp75-83. Examination of EU border control policies and the erosion of humanitarian obligations to protect those fleeing persecution. Looks at how the EU has heavily drawn on US and Australian border control programmes and the role of Britain, Spain and Italy in pushing towards discriminatory practices. It examines Operation Ulysses, which saw armed vessels from Spain, Britain, France, Italy and Portugal patrolling sections of the Mediterranean. Concludes that the failure of rescue missions "are endemic to these multimillion pound, EU sponsored border control enterprises, which have been set up primarily as military defence systems designed to repel invasion"
