Abstract

Following a drastic increase of migration from Libya towards Italy, the fatalities on this route increased, and members of the civil society founded search and rescue organisations to respond to the situation. The public discourse in Europe and Germany about migration and the role of search and rescue NGOs is heavily polarised. This research was aimed at understanding the causes for this polarisation by conducting a Qualitative Content Analysis of German national news articles. In the last years, the focus shifted from the necessity of a humanitarian response towards the necessity to secure the EU external borders. Search and rescue organisations have been framed as a threat to border security rather than as humanitarian actors.
