Jugend Rettet ist eine in Berlin ansässige Nichtregierungsorganisation, deren Vereinszweck es ist, im Mittelmeer Menschen aus Seenot zu retten. Grundlage ihrer Arbeit ist das Rettungsschiff Iuventa, das von der italienischen Staatsanwaltschaft im August 2017 aufgrund des Verdachts auf Beihilfe zur illegalen Einwanderung beschlagnahmt wurde. Träger von Jugend Rettet ist der gleichnamige gemeinnützige Verein.

Jugend Rettet is a non-governmental organization based in Berlin, whose purpose is to rescue people from distress in the Mediterranean Sea. It is based on the rescue vessel Iuventa, which was seized by the Italian prosecutor in August 2017 on suspicion of illegal immigration. Jugend Rettet is the non-profit association of the same name.

2017
The Italian Prosecutor's Office accused youths to work directly with 'tugs'. (touts etc.) [27] At a hearing before the Italian Parliament on 10 May 2017, the organization rejected the accusations. [28]

Fabrice Leggeri from the European Frontier Protection Agency, Frontex criticized the work of non-governmental organizations off the coast of Libya and the lack of cooperation between the organization and the relevant government authorities. Jugendrettet rejected the allegations publicly.

In August 2017, as well as other organizations such as MSF and Sea-Watch, Jugend rejects the idea of signing the Code of Conduct of the Italian Government to regulate its activity at sea. [30] The organizations justify this with partial violations of international law. [31] In addition, the Code should include the presence of armed officials of the Italian authorities on board NGO ships. This was rejected because the neutrality of non-governmental organizations would no longer be guaranteed.

The Italian Prosecutor's Office investigates Jugendrettet rescission of suspected illegal immigration and support for human trafficking. [33] Their ship, Iuventa, was seized at the beginning of August 2017, and the prosecutor's office presented testimonies, photographs, videos, and conversations to show how the crew did not save people from distress in documented cases. Among other things, migrants were taken from intact boats, with which the 'tugs' subsequently returned, or empty boats were returned to a 'tug', one of which was recognized in a later sea rescue. The occupation of the Iuventa is not accused of any financial intention, but according to its own opinion, it is based on helper-protagonism. [34] Jugendrettet rejected the accusations.

However, an Italian prosecutor stated “It would be fantasy to say there was a coordinated plan between the NGOs and the Libyan traffickers.” (Ref already in use but senza this quote...)
