"Mr President, the situation of migrants in Libya is unfortunate; many of them sided with Gaddafi in the uprising of 2011 and indeed many of them may even have been sought out by Gaddafi to fight on his behalf. Having lost, they are in a precarious and perilous position. Nevertheless, something has to be done about it and there are three things, I think, that are required:
Firstly, we have to try to establish a stable government, which is hopefully developing; we cannot impose it but we can certainly do a lot to help. Secondly, Libya has to sign up to the 1951 Refugee Convention. This will give them status within Libya. And thirdly, where asylum seekers come to Europe and elsewhere the burden must be shared. I listened to the Maltese Prime Minister last week and very generously he said – even though it is a very small country – that they would not turn back any asylum seekers. In fact, 250 asylum seekers had landed the day before; but the burden needs to be spread to all countries."@en1
