Federico Soda: Migration situation in Libya and the Mediterranean Sea – perspectives from the field

The lecture analyses current data on migrants and mixed migration routes in and out of Libya further to the Mediterranean Sea, highlighting the need to look at migration statistics differently to get more accurate picture of migration trends towards Europe. It specifically describes the situation of internally displaced persons and returnees and outlines dozens of field activities that IOM as the UN Migration Agency carries out in Libya in the present.

This lecture was part of the 8th EMN Educational Seminar on Migration 2021 entitled "Migration in a Multilateral World". The Seminar is organised by the International Organization for Migration Slovakia as the coordinator of the Slovak EMN National Contact Point. This activity is funded by the European Union and co-funded by the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic.
