Le droit d’asile, en Europe, a-t-il vraiment chaviré, comme chavirent, depuis des années, les bateaux de migrants qui tentent de traverser la Méditerranée ? L’Europe a-t-elle tourné le dos à son histoire, elle qui a solennellement inscrit le droit d’asile dans sa Charte des droits fondamentaux ? Beaucoup le croient, et pas seulement au sein des associations d’aide aux migrants. read more

Migrants have been arriving in boats to the northern coast of Lesbos Island for more than a decade, but the number has exploded from one boat a week 10 years ago to 250 a week now. Those fleeing war and poverty and desperate to reach Europe pay $1,000 to $2,000 to take the short but treacherous route between Turkey and Lesbos. Smugglers on the Turkish coast who provide the inflatable dinghies often cram 50 people into a boat with a capacity of 15, increasing the risk of capsizing. And many of the life jackets sold to the migrants are ineffective. read more
