Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostIf migrants are picked up by naval or any vessel, then transferred to another vessel for transport to a place of refuge, then there must remain a collective responsibility until an outcome has been reached. The only way to process unwanted migrants is to send them back, with cash support, to their countries of origin but not to Libya.

Op Sophia's mandate:
"EUNAVFOR MED Operation Sophia is the EU naval operation disrupting the business model of migrant smugglers and human traffickers in the Southern Central Mediterranean. The operation has two supporting tasks: training the Libyan Coastguard and Navy and contributing to the implementation of the UN arms embargo on the high seas off the coast of Libya in accordance with UNSCR 2292 (2016) and 2357 (2017)"
Since this does not include SAR or specifically embarking migrants, it should have very little effect on the mission.
It would have impacted on the previous Irish OP PONTUS or the Italian mission OP Mare Sicuro as they were SAR missions.

The sam b has her ais switched off since the 22nd of april and considering that on all ops , both sofia and pontus, all irish ships switched on the ais when approaching port for replenishment, would this suggest that she may have preformed RAS and if so , would this be a first?
