FERNANDEZ SANCHEZ, Pablo Antonio. Migrants, refugees and victims of human trafficking in the Mediterranean (between the politics and human rights). Rev. IUS [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.40, pp.105-135. ISSN 1870-2147.

This article studies the competence of the States in terms of migration in different marine spaces, as defined by the Law of the Sea. The analysis takes into consideration all aspects influencing the obligations of States in relation to the sea and human rights, as the rescue of the castaways, the right of asylum seekers and the right of victims of human trafficking. It also analyses the case of refugees in the Mediterranean Sea. Given its dimension and impact, it deserves a special attention. The causes of the mass influx of migrants considered are armed conflicts and another type of circumstances, because the consequences can be differentiated.

Keywords : Marine spaces and migrations; migrants at sea; castaways and human rights; massive flows; refugee in the Mediterranean.
