Sustainable Migration

About

From the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants to the Global Compact for Migration, the international community has been more committed than ever to develop a comprehensive framework to prevent, manage and respond to the causes and challenges of irregular, unsafe and unorderly migration.
In the context of increased large movements of migrants and refugees globally, this course aims to delineate the proponents of “sustainable migration”, whereby migration will be discussed respectively from the nexus of (i) human rights, (ii) governance, (iii) labour mobility, (iv) trade and (v) climate change.
To provide an overview of main relevant legal instruments and to gain an understanding of their current implementation is the aim, as well to propose detailed case studies ( eg. ASEAN; Mercosur; the Pacific Region).
