IMO’s Alper Keceli brought INTERTANKO up to date on the latest developments regarding unsafe, mixed migration by sea, during the INTERTANKO European panel meeting in Barcelona, Spain (29-30 April). Following the high-level United Nations Inter-Agency Meeting on Unsafe Mixed Migration by Sea held at IMO in March, the Legal Committee 102nd session (14-16 April) also discussed the matter and an intersessional discussion group has been established, while a further informal meeting on the development of a draft regional MoU on procedures relating to the disembarkation of persons rescued at sea was also held in April. Meanwhile, IMO is working with other agencies including the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to develop databases on incidents involving migrants at sea.
