Amnesty International alleges Libyan authorities are escalating violence against migrants, directly linking the trend to increased European Union efforts to curb migration. The organization accuses the EU of complicity in “horrific violations and abuses” by cooperating with a government it describes as xenophobic and racist. This criticism coincides with the implementation of the new EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, designed to strengthen border control. Amnesty International’s advocacy officer, Diane Fogelman, asserts the EU’s focus on stemming migration is inadvertently enabling abuse. The report highlights a concerning pattern of escalating mistreatment as European policies shift. The NGO contends the EU is prioritizing border security over the human rights of migrants. This raises questions about the ethical implications of the EU’s approach to migration management.
