Essentially, this means ‘lowering standards’ to get more member states on board…The member states you mention – especially Italy – seem to have considerable influence over the direction of the EU’s migration policy. Our feeling is definitely that: yes, member states are increasingly moving towards the right, in terms of their approach to human rights. Well… part of the problem is definitely that religion, in itself, has historically always tended to clash with human rights. Because ultimately - and this is the whole idea of having ‘human rights’, to begin with - we're living together in a community. How do you propose dealing with an emergency like that, from a human rights perspective?
