8. 我曾在以前的报告及相关报告(S/2019/711 和 S/2020/41)中多次强调，根据国际法，包括国际人权法、国际难民法和海洋法，不能认为利比亚是海上救援后上岸的安全地点。但是，难民和移民主要在被利比亚海岸警卫队拦截之后继续在利比亚上岸。也有报告称，会员国和商船在中地中海救援后，有时根据相关海上救援协调中心的指示，将获救人员移交给利比亚海岸警卫队。一些接到指示的人道主义非政府组织拒绝这样移交，表示根据国际法有义务让获救人员上岸并送到安全地方。2020 年 3 月，移民组织对报告的利比亚海岸警卫队从马耳他搜救区将移民和难民遣返利比亚的事件表示关切。
8. I have repeatedly emphasized, including in my previous and related reports (S/2019/711 and S/2020/41), that Libya cannot be considered a place of safety for the disembarkation of refugees and migrants rescued at sea under international law, including international human rights law, international refugee law and the law of the sea. However, refugees and migrants continued to be disembarked in Libya, mainly after interception by the Libyan coastguard. There have also been reports of Member State and merchant vessels handing over people rescued in the central Mediterranean to the Libyan coastguard, sometimes on the instructions of relevant Maritime Rescue Coordination Centres. Several humanitarian NGOs that were instructed to do so refused to comply, noting their obligations under international law to disembark rescued persons to a place of safety. In March 2020, IOM raised concerns over an incident in which migrants and refugees were reportedly returned to Libya by the Libyan coastguard from the Maltese search and rescue zone.
