Italy Plans to by-pass court constraints on Albanian Migrant Camps

Italy is on the cusp of a controversial law, one that is predicted to vilify opponents of the accommodation of migrants in Albania into endless debates regarding the handling of migration as it is encroaching on the legality.

Italy Plans to by-pass court constraints on Albanian Migrant Camps

The Italian government is currently in the process of legislating a decree which would exceed all legal aspects regarding the settlement of Albanian migrants within certain limits. Although it constitutes a much wider plan on the contours of the overall fight against mass migration in Italy, and the strategy involves estbalishing the so called external processing centers, the move causes a lot revulsion in the corridors of legal and human rights concerns in the country. The government posits that as the overwhelming escape problem has been traditional in the past, this is the only thing it could do about it. The critics say that, actually, they are not going to remedy the situation within the frame of the court, they just screw it with their own hands, leaving no hope for Albania’s capacity to address the torture.

Legal and Human Rights Concerns

This is largely driven by legal issues in view of the plan involving establishment of centres in Albania, some of them are being challenged in court for yet another allegation that this could prove international norms. The concern from the Italian side stays and the government is going ahead with a proposal, all the while pointing out that this is a must to relieve the migrant load on Italy. That is if the bill is successful, the Italian government will have a free hand on the issue incompliance with the blocking of the provisions.

A Larger Policy Framework

This initiative is in accordance with the underway European tendency to transfer the asylum request system to the so-called third states. In opting for Albanian territory for this purpose, Italy expects lessens in unauthorized movements and border control more effectively. However, there is unease because some of the services and amenities in Albania do not add up, not to mention whether the plan meets aspects of asylum seekers’ rights.
