Athens will arrest individuals entering Greece illegally from North Africa as part of a crackdown on migration. Greece has also suspended asylum applications for three months in response to a surge in arrivals from Libya to Crete. This decision aims to prevent boats from entering Greek waters. Human rights organizations claim that the denial of asylum violates international law. Questions arise regarding the effectiveness of these policy changes in curbing migration and the capacity of North African countries to help reduce boat crossings.
Athens has announced that it will arrest individuals entering Greece without authorization from North Africa, following a significant increase in sea arrivals from Libya.
In response to the surge in maritime crossings to Crete, Greece has suspended asylum applications for three months, aiming to control the situation.
Human rights groups are contesting Greece's decision to deny asylum, arguing that it contravenes international law and obligations toward asylum seekers.
There are pressing questions about whether new policies can effectively deter migration and whether North African nations can assist in stemming the flow of boats.
