Migration by Sea Symposium 26-27 April 2016 Malmö, Sweden

Not only are these [sea passengers smuggling] activities illegal… they are also carried out with a callous disregard for human life and a total disrespect for any of the internationally accepted standards for safety of life at sea, developed and adopted by IMO. Mr Koji Sekimizu, former Secretary-General, IMO
