欧洲创造了一个人类痛苦的空间，如果要制止大规模溺水，似乎迫切需要军事人道主义措施。将移民治理作为人道主义的框架，在地中海引人注目的边境实践中已经变得司空见惯。尽管如此，海上灾难仍在继续。本文讨论了三个非政府组织，它们是新兴的“人道主义舰队”的一部分，旨在将海洋变成一个不那么致命的空间：移民海上援助站、无国界医生组织和海洋观察组织。尽管营救岌岌可危的生命和减轻痛苦是他们关注的中心问题，但他们想象着自己的人道主义实践，他们同情的对象，以及欧洲在以不同方式塑造边境地区方面的作用，指出了一个广泛的人道主义范围。本文结合三位“边境人道主义者”所创造的不同话语框架，探讨了从人道主义理性中产生政治异议的可能性。
EUrope has created a space of human suffering within which military-humanitarian measures seem urgently required if the mass drowning is to be halted. The framing of migration governance as humanitarian has become commonplace in spectacular border practices in the Mediterranean Sea. Nonetheless, maritime disasters continue to unfold. This article discusses three non-governmental actors, part of an emerging “humanitarian fleet” that seeks to turn the sea into a less deadly space: the Migrant Offshore Aid Station, Medecins Sans Frontieres, and Sea-Watch. While the rescue of precarious lives and the alleviation of suffering are central concerns, they imagine their humanitarian practices, the subjects of their compassion, and EUrope's role in shaping borderzones in different ways, pointing to a wide humanitarian spectrum. Engaging with the different discursive frames created by the three “border humanitarians”, the article explores what possibilities exist for political dissent to emanate from within humanitarian reason.
