This article explores legal consequences arising from Italy’s European human rights legal commitments in confrontation with the migration crisis. The so-called Arab Spring resulted in a great influx of illegal migrants who, from obvious reasons, chose mainly the territory of Italy as the first safe space for their living or as a transit country. At the beginning the process did not seem to become such a disaster and human rights drama. The main purpose of the Authors’ analysis is to present the attitude of two main human rights organs of the Council of Europe, namely the European Court of Human Rights as well as the Committee on the Prevention of Torture, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Against the background of the analysed documents the Authors try not only to present the above-mentioned legal consequences, but also discuss the further role of Italy in the ongoing migration crisis. It is more than sure, that in the present day state of affairs Italy cannot be longer left alone as this is in strong contravention with the overwhelming idea of solidarity which has been a foundation of the European integration, including the collaboration within the European Union.
