Abstract
The situation of the movement of certain migrants to and within Europe since 2015 has been described as a ‘crisis’. A typical response from international lawyers has been to implore states to implement fully their relevant legal obligations, including in international human rights law. In the first half of this two-part post, I review the argument to the effect that sea-rescues of migrants, allied to the extraterritorial application of the non-refoulement obligation in human rights law, incentivize dangerous smuggler-enabled journeys.
