Migration Issues Between Protecting Human Rights and Security

Abstract

Early twenty-first century witnessed a situation becoming more serious in terms of migration. International statistics show that one in 35 is a migrant, which means that if all of them would occupy a well-defined territory, it will become the sixth country in the world in number of population. Latest developments on the international scene have brought into question the problem of migration, and particularly the illegal one. Europe is currently the scene of processes whose effects are increasingly difficult to predict. Conflicts at EU borders, increasing economic disparities between different close geographic areas, Islamic terrorism, have made Europe face a crisis. The need to protect the rights of migrants, the necessity of ensuring military security, and not only, of the European construction, the need to ensure the unity of action of members of the European Union are just some of the challenges Europe has to face. The primary objective of this study is to identify possible future ways of resolving this very complex situation.
