The session will consider the legal and moral aspects of rescuing ‘boat people’, and the related topic of migrant smuggling in the Mediterranean and the EU response to the issue.

It will also focus on the problem from the perspective of merchant ships which become involved in rescuing migrants at sea, and examines some of the implications in relation to contracts for the carriage of goods by sea and marine insurance.
