PROTECTION OF MIGRANTS AT SEA: CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Abstract
The protection of migrants at sea presents a worrying picture as the rights of migrants are usually being violated and ignored at sea than on land. The sea is regarded as a very dangerous environment which has swallowed an estimation of 236.000 migrants in the past decades.
Because of these numerous deaths recorded at sea, efforts have been put in place by the international community of states to help combat the problems and difficulties faced by migrants at sea besides, migrants at sea are always vulnerable as regarding their rights. They are often ignored by states and their rights at sea such as right to life and health are usually violated and nothing is often done about it.
Because of the difficulties faced by migrants at sea, there are some international instruments or mechanisms that have been put in place to protect migrants at sea. Some of them are; the United Nations Convention of the Laws of the Sea (UNCLOS), Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue at Sea (SAR), the Security Council Resolution 2312 of 2016, Protocol Against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air, the Prohibition and Prevention of Torture, Cruel and Inhuman Treatment or Punishment at Sea by the United Nation Convention Against Torture (UNCAT), The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Right (UDHR), Convention on the High Sea, just to name a few.
These mechanisms give states, ship masters as well as other individuals and Organizations the responsibility or duty to protect migrants at sea in one way or the other. However, even though such mechanisms are put in place to help guarantee the protection of migrants at sea, yet migrants at sea still faces a lot of problems as to their safety and protection. The international community of states has responded to an extent positively to the mechanisms protecting migrants at sea as coupled with the instrumental role played by sea Non-Governmental Organizations to saving human life at sea.
However, to a greater extent, states and shipmasters do no usually respect the provisions of treaties guiding the rights of migrants at sea and as a matter of fact, some states have not even sign to some of those conventions protecting migrants at sea. This have badly led to the violation of the rights of migrants at sea from recent years till date, which thus call for concern.
