“…Academic discussion within this context has come and gone, with the interest in boat migration gaining the most traction during the so-called European migration crisis. Such studies included discussion of citizenship and migrant rights (Albahari, 2016;Trevisanut, 2014), the humanitarian/securitisation dichotomy of migration operations (Bevilacqua, 2017;Moreno-Lax, 2017;Garrelli & Tazzioli, 2017;Stierl, 2017), and descriptive pieces on counter-migration policy and NGO activity (Hanke et al, 2018;Patalano, 2015;Cuttita, 2017) among others. These approaches have provided valuable empirical contributions, which make understanding what happened during the migrant crisis a simple task.…”

This paper concerns itself with the configuration of security at sea, arguing that its implementation is not solely within the security actor’s control. Rather, maritime security configurations are constructed as a result of intended and unintended actions and implications, melding security and insecurity together as a singular sphere of activity. Narrowing in on the specific case of migration governance, this paper investigates the role of international legal obligations and limitations for security actors at sea in understanding the operationalisation of maritime migration security. Questions of the construction of maritime security configurations are considered with reference to boarding and searching of vessels, search and rescue (SAR) and access to territorial waters, perceived through the practice based assemblage approach. It is proposed that assemblage theory is suited to accessing complex relationships between security and international law. Attending to Central Mediterranean migration governance, this paper reflects a reading of international law that resulted in a stagnation of security on the high seas. The convictions of this paper are three-fold. Firstly and primarily, the implementation of a maritime security initiative is not solely within the control of the securitising actor. Secondly, maritime security configurations are malleable, and shaped by unplanned elements, including international legal obligations and instruments. Finally, maritime security is an assemblage, constructed as a result of intentional and unintentional independent elements which form relationships and result in a unique security configuration. The findings demonstrate that international law forms an important aspect of maritime migration security configurations or assemblages, and significantly shapes such operations.

“…Prema definiciji sadržanoj u Protokolu o krijumčarenju migranata taj se pojam određuje kao "posredovanje […] nezakonitog ulaska osobe u državu stranku koje ta osoba nije državljanin ili u njoj nema trajno boravište", a "u svrhu izravnog ili neizravnog stjecanja financijske ili druge materijalne koristi." 6 Pritom krijumčarenje migranata treba razlikovati od srodna kaznenog djela trgovine ljudima. Dok je krijumčarenju migranata imanentna dobrovoljnost na strani objekta odnosno žrtve kaznenog djela, kod trgovine ljudima prisutan je element oduzimanja slobode ili makar prisile.…”

Svrha je rada upozoriti na osobitu važnost suradnje država u borbi protiv krijumčarenja migranata morem, napose u prostoru izvan područja suverenosti obalnih država. U radu se stoga objašnjava međunarodnopravni okvir za aktivnosti država u borbi protiv krijumčarenja migranata morem. Pritom je naglasak stavljen na jurisdikciju država za provođenje prisilnih mjera protiv brodova kojima se krijumčare migranti. Izlaganje polazi od općih pravila koja uređuju jurisdikciju država na otvorenom moru, a danas su kodificirana u Konvenciji Ujedinjenih naroda o pravu mora iz 1982. Potom je fokus usmjeren na posebna pravila u vezi s krijumčarenjem migranata na moru sadržanima u Protokolu protiv krijumčarenja migranata kopnom, morem i zrakom, prihvaćenu uz Konvenciju UN-a protiv transnacionalnog organiziranog kriminaliteta iz 2000., gdje je u čl. 7. Protokola podcrtana upravo dužnost suradnje država stranaka „na sprječavanju i suzbijanju krijumčarenja migranata morem, u skladu s međunarodnim pravom mora“. Protokol protiv krijumčarenja migranata u svome članku 17., štoviše, potiče države ugovornice na „sklapanje dvostranih ili regionalnih sporazuma ili operativnih dogovora ili suglasnosti“ radi njegove bolje implementacije. U tom su smislu prikazani i evaluirani oblici bilateralne i multilateralne regionalne suradnje država s naglaskom na Mediteran, uzimajući napose u obzir suradnju država članica Europske unije preko Agencije za europsku graničnu i obalnu stražu (Frontex). K tomu, dan je osvrt na Rezoluciju Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a br. 2240 (2015) koja državama članicama UN-a daje izvanredne jurisdikcijske ovlasti na otvorenom moru pred obalama Libije, a služi kao pravni temelj za djelovanje mornaričke operacije EU-a EUNAVFOR Med „Sophia“ u okviru Zajedničke sigurnosne i obrambene politike.
