A collection of NGOs have recently come out and stated that the Italy-Albania migration deal is unethical and has urged health workers not to comply. The deal would have male migrants found at sea detained in Albania while their asylum cases are processed. However, this deal hasn’t bore fruit yet due to a series of obstacles that have prevented the processing of a single migrant. First, there was a construction delay for the detainment centers. Then, after they gathered the first batch of immigrants, the Italian court ruled that they must remain in Italy. Aid groups did an investigation on the process of the deal and found that only men deemed “not vulnerable” were to be sent to Albania. However, they argue that all migrants are vulnerable due to the physical, psychological, and\/or sexual abuse they’ve endured before seeking asylum. Sending these immigrants to Albania would only worsen their condition. The Knights of Malta, an NGO that has been helping with the deal, strongly refutes the claim, stating that they’ve never partaken in this “selection” of migrants and give first aid to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds like a critical oversight by the two countries. They had a deal all planned out just to have the Italian government step in and prevent anything from getting done. Now there’s the ethical issue. I think it might be in their best interest to drop it. There either has to be one big agreement across the Mediterranean or no agreement at all. If your own government is contradicting itself and disallowing the transportation of asylum-seekers to Albania, then that should give you a pretty good idea of how it’s going to go from now on. Also, selecting migrants based off how “vulnerable” they are seems pretty messed up. They aren’t traveling across the most dangerous migration route just for fun. You have to be in a really bad situation to get on one of those rafts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This relates to class because it centers around NGOs, specifically Operational NGOs, which focus on global development projects. The Italy-Albania deal is an example of one of these projects. The article is also an example of reciprocity, which is a solution to the collective goods problem. Italy and Albania both want the reduction of migration via the Mediterranean Sea, so they are working together and helping each other out to do their part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
