Abstract
In 2020, the Italian maritime authority, exercising its Port State Control powers, has inspected and detained many NGO vessels engaged in rescue migrants at sea. This pa-per analyzes foundation and limits of this power of inspection, and highlights the diffi-culty of finding a balance between the legislation on safety of navigation and the protec-tion of the human rights of migrants who expose themselves to the dangers of the sea to find protection.
