(21 Apr 2015, 7:19 pm)MrFozz I personally think we should keep out of it and it should be left to Greece, Italy, Turkey to deal with, They should be detained in the first country they land, claim asylum there, and only when they have been granted asylum, can they go about there onward journey, if asylum is turned down, turn them round, put them back on a boat and send them back to Libya or hand them over to a third country who would take them on the condition they don't come back for a certain set amount of time...
Can't remember what International Law covers Asylum, The Geneva Convention possibly, but I am sure International Law says refugees can head to the nearest safe country to claim Asylum, and last time I looked at a map, for Syrians, Afghans, Pakistanis, Iranians etc when were we, France, Germany the first safe country for these people when there are plenty in between. I apologise If I have not got my facts right
I am not sure what can be done at present to stem the flow over the Mediterranean. If one route is blocked they will only find another way
