This research is part of multilingual interdisciplinary research. It is a case study, synchronic and qualitative, whose central theme is the vulnerability of migrants. We proposed to examine the relational nature of this vulnerability using a trilingual corpus: French, Italian and Spanish. To do this, we have chosen the institutional discourse of national and international NGOs and operational humanitarian NGOs, about the political and humanitarian crisis that accompanied the arrival of the humanitarian ship Aquarius, responsible for survivors in June 2018.

The European Union has the ambition to be one of the largest markets and one of the most influential trade actors in the globalized economy, but also the mission to spread the values and principles at the foundations of the European integration process: democracy, the rule of law, respect and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, environmental protection and sustainable development. This twofold mission is at the origin of the measures which are the object of this book.
