Abstract

In 2017, Italy and Libya signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen their cooperation in the field of migration (MoU). This post examines the human rights implications of Italy’s support to the Libyan Coast Guard (LCG) provided under MoU pursuant to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the Convention against Torture (CAT).
