The 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the status of refugees establishes an objective regime. It imposes erga omnes obligations upon State Parties with an impact also on those States that have not ratified the Convention. The obligation of "non-refoulement" implies the obligation for the State of refuge non to expel asylum seekers until their right to obtain inter-national protection has not been ascertained. State Parties should employ "due diligence" in fulfilling this "positive" obligation also in areas of the sea which do not come directly under their jurisdiction, whenever they are in a condition to influence the conduct of other States. State Parties should not undermine the "effet utile" of the Convention. Italy’s "push-back" practice with Libya is not fully consistent with this legal framework.
