The continent needs to recall its past more sensitively, and be more generous to the desperate people crossing the Mediterranean. François Crépeau, the United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, observed in a recent interview that Europe, Australia, and Canada could easily resettle one million Syrian refugees over the next five years, and they could add Eritreans to that list and extend this policy to seven years.
但目前的欧洲移民提案大有改进必要。欧洲大陆需要更加细致地回顾它的过去，更佳慷慨地对待穿越地中海的绝望的人民。移民人权特别调查员弗朗西斯·克雷皮欧（François Crépeau）在最新的采访中观察道，欧洲、澳大利亚和加拿大可以轻松地在未来五年中收容一百万叙利亚难民，并且可以将厄立特里亚人也包括进来并把该政策延长到七年。既然如此，为何欧洲仅仅提出每年收容20,000—40,000人？
