Summary/Abstract: The article presents the aspect of human migration to Italy from North African countries and areas of the Middle East with particular emphasis on the issue of organization of the influx of people and support from Italy (Mare Nostrum action) and the European Union Member States (Triton action). Migration to Europe in recent decades has become very problematic, especially for Italy, which is considered to be a transit area, where the organization of a system of identification of the population exceeds the capabilities of many of the centers of first support (because of their overpopulation). The main causes of human migration are considered to be the escape from conflicts and persecution, desire to improve the quality of life by seeking employment, as well as the need to unite with the members of the family who have already settled in the territory of the country. The influx of people, especially minors who are not taken care of requires Italy to grant these people immediate assistance and does not provide for their expulsion from the territory of the country. The people who are not taken care of are particularly vulnerable to actions on the part of illegal organizations through the exploitation of minors and people trafficking.
