The situation of migration, starting from Libya to Italy, crossing the strait, which divides the two countries is becoming more problematic for the humanitarian consequences and highlights, such as the Italian country is left alone to face this emergency. He is currently in force on the device contrast Triton, which is based, not on the help of the people on the run, but on the control of EU borders and has an insufficient budget to handle the phenomenon. Rome had previously addressed the problem with the operation "Mare Nostrum", which was the sole responsibility of Italy. Thanks to the commitment and investment Italian economic woes, although these were lower than the current measures taken by the European Union. The flow of migrants, thanks to the situation of absolute lack of control in Libya, has increased and it is estimated that only last week the Italian Coast Guard has rescued about 10,000 people. These are operations that occur outside than thought from Brussels, the sole responsibility of Italy. In 2014, the UN agency for immigrants and refugees has estimated that more than 210,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean and that 3,500 have lost their lives; However, this latter figure is an estimate downward, because it is based on the bodies recovered and the testimonies of survivors, while it is reasonable to believe that some shipwrecks has not been heard. The situation is considered very serious by the United Nations that have appealed to other European countries to help Italy, not only in border control, but, above all, assistance for migrants. The problem has existed since the presence of the Government of Libya's Colonel Gaddafi, which regulated the amount of migrants, to put pressure on Italy and Europe, for economic aid and political recognition. After the fall of the regime in Tripoli, Libya is in chaos and there is no institutional authority able to manage the phenomenon on the African coast; on the other hand, the phenomenon of migration has increased because of the wars and famines and the fact of being a source of secure income for organizations that manage human trafficking, among which are included the Islamic fundamentalists. The migrants are subjected to violence of all kinds and a particular attention should be paid to children, who face family without the journey of hope. The organization "Save the Children" is about a large number of child victims. Also there is the danger that in the midst of desperate people crossing the Mediterranean to escape hunger and the violence of the wars there are potential terrorists infiltrated. The fact remains that the most urgent issue to be addressed is a schedule of relief that can not be entrusted only to Italy, because it is a problem that goes beyond even the boundaries of the Community, but must be shared by all the European Union and the UN itself , which must be able to mobilize and to field a task force that can handle the first level of emergency. Connected to this, however, there is a need to arrive at a pacification of Libya to operate on its territory and with their permission and cooperation, sending the Blue Helmets can prepare camps to provide necessary assistance to those who arrive on its territory after exhausting journeys. Unfortunately, this case is yet another political failure of supranational entities: Europe is engaged only in the pursuit of financial stability and fails to have sufficient organization, which descend from the decisions of the policy to know to deal with the emergency, which is not only one of its members, but that over time is reflected on all others. The United Nations is limited, as also well for too long, the declarations of good intentions, which does not follow any practical behavior. Behaviors like these delegitimize both Brussels and New York, as the headquarters of the UN Headquarters, and raise the question of what the real usefulness of these bodies, which continue to betray their principles.
