Migration by sea is a phenomenon which is largely associated with irregular flows
and growing concern by destination States about border control and integrity of restrictive migration
policies. Only incidentally, the human rights' costs are extensively debated. The Mediterranean Sea
is a crucial scenario which highlights the difficulty encountered by the Search and Rescue regime to
cope with the techniques adopted by smugglers and with the additional tensions provoked by some
features of EU migration law. The SAR provisions are inherently accompanied by certain elasticity,
in order to take into account the variety of concrete situations. In a regional context characterized
by political divergences among European states and between the latters and transit countries, some
IMO and EU's attempts to draw a solution are evaluated: it clearly emerges that the failures to
find out a reasonable compromise are due to factors external to maritime law. Such factors must
be addressed with more courage by the EU member states: the hot issue of the burden sharing; a
really comprehensive dialogue with origin countries and transit countries on the complex subject of
international migration; the renunciation to ask the cooperation of states with a negative human rights
record. Absent a more far reaching policy, dramatic events and hidden deaths will sadly continue, as
far as the crocodile tears of European politicians when some incident eventually reaches the attention
of media and of public opinion

Only incidentally, the human rights' costs are extensively debated. The Mediterranean Sea is a crucial scenario which highlights the difficulty encountered by the Search and Rescue regime to cope with the techniques adopted by smugglers and with the additional tensions provoked by some features of EU migration law. The SAR provisions are inherently accompanied by certain elasticity, in order to take into account the variety of concrete situations.

Absent a more far reaching policy, dramatic events and hidden deaths will sadly continue, as far as the crocodile tears of European politicians when some incident eventually reaches the attention of media and of public opinionla migration via mer est un phénomène qui est en grande partie associé aux flux irréguliers et à la préoccupation croissante des États de destination relativement au contrôle de ses frontières et à l'intégrité de ses politiques migratoires restrictives. Très rarement, les aspects relatifs aux droits de l'homme reçoivent l'attention qu'ils mériteraient. La Méditerranée est un scénario crucial qui met en évidence les difficultés rencontrées par le système de la Recherche et du Sauvetage quand il fait face aux techniques adoptées par les trafiquants et aux tensions additionnelles provoqués par certaines règles du droit d'immigration de l'UE. Les dispositions sur les activités SAR sont accompagnées par certaine élasticité, afin de prendre en compte la variété des situations concrètes. Dans un contexte régional caractérisé par des divergences politiques entre les États membres de l'UE et entre ceux-ci et les États de transit, quelques tentatives poussées par l'OMI et l'UE sont évaluées dans la présente étude : de toute évidence, il ressort que les échecs pour trouver un compromis raisonnable sont dus à des facteurs externes au droit maritime. Ces facteurs doivent être recouverts d'une plus grande participation des États membres de l'UE : la question sensible du partage de la charge, un très large dialogue avec les pays d'origine et de transit sur les complexités de la migration internationale;,le renoncement, au même temps, la demande de coopération des pays qui ne respectent pas suffisamment les droits de l'homme. Á l'absence d'une politique plus ambitieuse et à long terme, les événements dramatiques et morts silencieuses vont se poursuivre, et aussi les «larmes de crocodile» des politiciens européens qui se posent lorsqu'un incident vient à provoquer l'attention des médias communication et l'opinion publiqueLa migración vía mar es un fenómeno abundantemente asociado con los flujos irregulares y con la creciente preocupación por parte de los Estados de destino con respecto al control des sus fronteras y a la integridad de sus políticas migratorias restrictivas. Muy raramente, los aspectos relativos a los derechos humanos reciben la atención que merecerían. El Mar Mediterráneo representa un escenario crucial que destaca las dificultades que el régimen de búsqueda y rescate encuentra al enfrentarse con las técnicas empleadas por los traficantes y con las tensiones adicionales consecuencia de ciertas pautas del derecho de inmigración de la UE. Las disposiciones sobre las actividades SAR son inherentemente acompañadas por una cierta elasticidad, a fin de tomar en cuenta la variedad de las situaciones concretas. En un contexto regional caracterizado por divergencias políticas entre los Estados miembros de la UE y entre estos y los Estados de tránsito, algunas tentativas impulsadas por la OMI y la UE son evaluadas en el presente estudio: resulta que el fracaso en llegar a un razonable compromiso se debe a motivos ajenos al derecho marítimo. Tales factores deben ser abarcados con mas implicación por parte de los Estados miembros de la UE: el delicado tema de la repartición de las cargas; una diálogo realmente amplio con los países de origen y con los de tránsito sobre las complejidades de las migraciones internacionales; la renuncia, al mismo tiempo, a pedir la cooperación de países que no respetan con suficiencia los derechos humanos. A falta de una política más ambiciosa y de largo plazo, los eventos dramáticos y las muertes silenciosas están destinados a seguir, así como las "lagrimas de cocodrilo" de los políticos europeos que surgen cuando algún incidente llega a provocar la atención de los medios de comunicación y de la opinión publicaUniversidad de Cádiz2013text (article)application/pdfhttp://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=4580158(Revista) ISSN 2341-0868Paix et sécurité internationales: revue maroco-espagnole de droit international et relations internationales, ISSN 2341-0868, Nº. 1, 2013, pags. 53-76engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
