EUI research shows there is no correlation between the activities of sea rescue NGOs and migrants departures from Libya. The EUI Policy Brief '
Sea rescue NGOs : a pull factor of irregular migration?' written by Eugenio Cusumano and Matteo Villa, was published in Open Access this Monday 18 November in
Cadmus, the EUI Research Repository.
The authors have examined monthly migratory flows from Libya to Italy between 2014 and 2018, and daily flows during Jan-Oct 2019. They have found no relationship between the presence of NGOs at sea and the number of migrants leaving Libyan shores.
In 24 hours the paper had more than 4000 page views and downloads. At the time of the writing the Policy brief has had 5620 views. This is the highest and quickest usage statistics a publication has had in Cadmus, and shows how important the efforts to widen access to academic research are.
