A Challenge to Our Civilization. The current refugee crisis is emblematic of Europe's ambivalence and failure to manage forced migrations in the present time. Faced with largest movement of migrants and refugees since World War II, Europe has displayed. The integrated borders management strategy to contain migration has gone hand in hand with the process of the European Union's enlargement to 28 Member States, thus reinforcing the move towards the abolishment of internal frontiers. But today, it is exactly the call to safeguard its external borders that would risk putting into question the very idea of a European common space, as is demonstrated by an increasing tendency to suspend free circulation inside Europe, reintroducing internal controls and boundaries. The situation that emerges touches upon the very cornerstone of the international system of protection. The desperation which makes it possible to scale walls of barbed wire as well as walls created by laws and regulations, has resulted in a level of cooperation, albeit modest, that until now European countries had not been able to achieve. The refugee issue reveals the unavoidable gap between the inclusive man civilized and migrans mans between. First of all we are the poor and vulnerable, not the migrans. The time will come when we will have to consider our place in the European Union. I am afraid that our civilization will suffer the fate of the Mayans.
