Communication Pathologies and Human Rights: Understanding Crimes of Peace

Abstract

With breaking news and tweets of sinkings, rescues, rejections, deaths at sea, naval blocks very often one has the
perception that everything has already been said and written in the vortex of institutional and non-governmental
communication on the theme of migrants.
In Italy, in particular, the situations listed above, which still fill the media agenda and remain trend topics for weeks on
social networks like Twitter and Instragram, are not only ideological and / or symbolic, but also material and too often
categorized with the expression "war crimes", when more correctly that sinking or that naval blockade should be
recognized as a "crime of peace": it’s necessary overcome this pathology in communication /information and return to
reconsidering human rights, talking about "migrant democracy".
