Nowadays, there are very few, if any, crimes on high seas, equaling in evil the crime of not assisting migrants, in the eyes of States and international organizations. Migrant trafficking, with that, is encountering many problems and doesn’t run as smoothly as before. Human traffickers are in constant search of new ways and schemes. Involving merchant ships may be one of the options. Say, a boat with migrants sails from Libya out to Med, while NGO is busily searching for merchant ships nearby. When found, NGO alerts boat, boat sends “distress signal”, NGO connects MRCC and demands SAR, MRCC orders merchant ship or ships to respond, and here we are – migrants are delivered to Europe. Merchant ships can’t openly defy MRCC orders, the potential punishments are very severe, up to prison terms. The owners and the crews are left alone with this problem, which may remain minor, or may develop into a big one, speaking about central Med.
Who’s responsible for all the negative consequences which are already taking place? Or for possible tragedy? Nobody is responsible except owner and crew. Not MRCC Malta, not NGO Alert Phone, not the EU, and not of course, the UN General Secretary, who prior to his present post, was one of the main architects of mass migration project.
