“What we see with externalisation policies is that funds are provided to non-EU countries in return for border security. Often these funds come without strict overseeing mechanisms to monitor human rights violations. In addition, these policies empower the leaders of these countries, some of which have oppressive authoritarian leaders.” says the Migration Policy Group's Head of Research Dr. Basak Yavcan in an interview with Euronews. Externalisation policies and deals like the recent Tunisia – EU deal are ineffective and harmful. Instead, we should address the root causes that force people to migrate, such as global inequalities, political instability and increasingly also the climate crisis. To prevent needless loss of life, like the #pylosshipwreck last month, we need routes that allow people to migrate to Europe safely.
