The recent change of Italy's government has brought with it a memorandum stipulating the new stance of the coalition towards migration control. Namely, the government has revived and expanded the nationwide use of detention centers (CIE), with an outward focus on ID checks and deportation. The approach has sparked numerous concerns for the future of migrants and the risk of violations of human rights. It is as a firm reminder to ensure that mechanisms will remain in place to monitor the Italian migration process and its compliance with human rights obligations.
