The events in the Andaman Sea, the Asia-Pacific region, Central America, the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East, as well as the mirroring of such suffering at each stage of the migratory process over the past three few years, have clearly shown that the status quo in approaches of States to border control, asylum and migration is not sustainable if the objective is to reduce suffering and deaths.
