  • S.S. and Ors v Italy: Extraterritorial policies of ‘contactless control’

    Filed in May 2018 with the European Court of Human Rights on behalf of 17 survivors of a 130-person shipwreck off of Libya, the case asserts Italy’s “contactless control” and “functional jurisdiction” over Libyan actors implementing the EU and its Member States’ refoulement and containment regime in the central Mediterranean.
