institutions and organizations representing the interests gathered in Table Asylum believe that what is happening in Libya and other countries of the Maghreb is a historic event of enormous scope that must be considered not only in relation to the likely intensification of arrivals of refugees to Europe, but First looking at the enormous potential benefits, economically, socially and culturally that start for Europe as a whole and for the Mediterranean countries in particular, following the fall of corrupt and violent regimes that for decades dominated the area.
Europe and Italy have a duty to support effectively the start of the process of democratic transformation in these countries and with a sense of responsibility should avoid alarmism and the possible spread in the Italian and European population, feelings of fear towards those fleeing ongoing violence. On the contrary, it is time to achieve, even with the help of local institutions and civil society initiatives for acceptance and solidarity and the initiation of programs of aid to the countries concerned for a return to democracy as quickly as possible.
In particular, it is necessary to ensure an efficient rescue system at sea, in international waters, as in the past by following the best tradition of our country, strictly avoiding conflict and rejection of any transaction in sea arrivals, take place directly, with Italian men and means, or indirectly, with logistical support to military units and police forces in countries affected by the crisis. Such a hypothesis would be a choice fraught with tragedy.
should of course be granted access to the asylum procedure, in strict compliance with the principle of non refoulement. It also provides a form of temporary protection for those fleeing the crisis areas.
must certainly be sought to prevent a concerted European Italy and other countries of the southern Union find themselves having to manage a situation of increasing their own emergency. However, it should also be remembered that Italy was in 2009 and 2010, a modest number of asylum applications and is in a position to be able to meet its international obligations for refugee protection with respect to a number of arrivals far greater than the current admissions.

The current crisis situation should be handled by providing extraordinary reception plans without disrupting the current asylum procedure, preserving the proper functioning of a reception system, in compliance with the minimum principles of EC directives in this area.
It should also be avoided by a general application of measures of detention, especially if arbitrary, to those who ask for protection as this would distort the fundamental principle of the right of asylum seekers at a reception in conditions of freedom.
In particular, it should avoid the use solely or primarily to large structures, as experience has amply demonstrated that the administration of the structure is very costly and compromise in starting a good relationship with the territory. It is believed there are any conditions to favor instead a warm diffuse easily activated quickly and cost-effective even using those already established in the system of over 130 Italian municipalities adhering to SPRAR (protection system for asylum seekers and refugees)
associations and institutions that subscribe to this appeal also express deep concern over the announced move to the new center of Mineo (Catania) the legal nature undefined, asylum seekers already present in the current Cara (centers for asylum seekers). That measure, which would undermine the foundations of the functioning of the asylum system built painstakingly over the past year, does not appear to conform to current regulations on procedures for examining applications for asylum, even in light of an urgent decree.
asks that Italy, also because of its privileged partner with Libya, to take a greater and more incisivo ruolo internazionale per fare cessare immediatamente l’attuale massacro in quel Paese e comunque sospenda l’efficacia del Trattato di amicizia tra Italia e Libia non sussistendo più nessuna delle condizioni per la sua attuazione.
