Refugee Tragedy At Lampedusa (EDM548)

Refugee Tragedy At Lampedusa

EDM number 548 in 2013-14, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 09/10/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Asylum, Shipping and Western Europe.

That this House is shocked at the deaths of 274 refugees off the island of Lampedusa; recognises that this is the latest in a long line of tragedies where 20,000 desperate refugees have died in unsafe vessels in the Mediterranean; and reminds all EU states that they have obligations under the Geneva Convention to provide a place of safety for asylum seekers and that the tragedy of drowning has to be met with humanity and concern not xenophobia against victims of poverty and oppression.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
