GENEVA – The European Union should take a “more sophisticated, more courageous and less callous approach” to migrants who often die trying to reach the EU in boats that are not seaworthy, U.N. human rights chief Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said on Monday.
“Europe is turning its back on some of the most vulnerable migrants in the world and risks turning the Mediterranean into a vast cemetery,” he said, describing EU policy as “short-sighted, short-term political reactions pandering to the xenophobic populist movements that have poisoned public opinion on this issue.”
