This paper addresses the ongoing ‘European Migrant Crisis’ by, first, discussing the return of internal borders within the European Union as zones for controlling and sorting migrants, and then both internal and external borders as areas in which policing and national policy choices deeply challenge international law, which was designed to protect all human beings regardless of their country of departure. The primary argument developed here is that some EU countries neglect to abide by the European and international regulations on migration, asylum seekers, and human rights, with unprecedented consequences. Border policies are presented here as paradoxical governmental tools, which are not applied equally and uniformly. The main consequence is the growing gap between rights guaranteed under the law and their selective application within a border management where the state of exception is increasingly visible.

“欧洲移民危机”？关于地中海边界的一些想法

本文首先讨论了欧盟内部边界作为控制和分类移民的区域的回归，然后讨论了内部和外部边界作为警务和国家政策选择面临深刻挑战的领域，从而解决了持续的“欧洲移民危机”。国际法，旨在保护所有人，无论其出发地为何。这里提出的主要论点是，一些欧盟国家忽视遵守欧洲和国际关于移民、寻求庇护者和人权的法规，造成了前所未有的后果。边境政策在这里被描述为矛盾的政府工具，它们并没有被平等和统一地应用。
