Migration management cannot be left
to countries of first arrival but rather efforts need to be
shared, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres said
in answer to a question about the situation on Lampedusa.
"Efforts cannot be made only by the countries of first arrival
but must be shared, this is an EU problem and there must be
solidarity mechanisms," said Guterres.
"The flow includes refugees and people who essentially move for
economic reasons," he added.
"Everyone must see their human rights respected but there is a
way to determine refugee status.
"In any case, it is essential that there be European
solidarity," he concluded.
