“The Assembly also urges member States to step up their contributions to development co-operation with the countries to the south of Libya, which will help to reduce the number of departures from countries not in conflict.”

The resolution refers in paragraph 6 to the arrival in Italy from Libya of migrants from countries not under threat. Their numbers can only be reduced if the countries concerned are able to create opportunities and future life projects in their home countries.
