Ms Mogherini told UN representatives on Monday that an "exceptional response" was needed to deal with the "unprecedented" migrant flow.
But she said the situation was likely to continue as long as Libya lacked a government that had authority across the country.
"No refugees or migrants intercepted at sea will be sent back against their will," she added.
