27 September 2019 "Regarding the stop to the departures" of migrants from countries of origin, "we are thinking about new solutions and already on Monday I will be able to give you important news". Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio wrote this in a post on Facebook when he returned from New York where he attended the UN General Assembly.

"These days have also served to make some progress on a theme, such as the war in Libya, which is not just a devastating conflict, but also the migratory flows of desperate people arriving on our shores. We have decided to put the center three objectives that can no longer be postponed: the stop to departures, the repatriation of irregular immigrants and the revision of the Dublin regulation ", he added.

"Let us not forget, moreover, that migrants transiting from Libya, or being brought back there, often suffer violence of all kinds, such as torture and rape. This is why I proposed that the UN should manage the reception centers in Libya" , recalled Di Maio.
