Europe - Asylum and Migration: Limiting the flow
Claire Spencer, February 2005
The World Today, Volume 61, Number 2

Instead, for the second time in two years, the European Union has been considering proposals to set up 'asylum camps' across North Africa - and even in Ukraine - to process claims before refugees even enter Europe. Is this just anotherway for governments to place their international obligations out of sight, or a rational response to a problem that clearly isn't going to go away?
