A society which does not welcome and not actively integrates migrant people,
but rejects and discriminates, is certainly not the European Community we want to build

IOM World Migration Report 2008- Managing Labour Mobility in the Evolving Global Economy Description : The task of formulating workable approaches to the management of international migration remains a formidable challenge for the community, one that will require both time and effort over the coming years. In what terms are we to develop comprehensive migration management strategies that will help us achieve coherence of action? What organizing principles should be adopted? Is there, in conceptual terms, a point of leverage to move the debate forward?   Transatlantic Trends: Report Immigration 2009: http://www.transatlantictrends.org/trends/immigration/about.html The inaugural Transatlantic Trends: Immigration public opinion survey addresses immigration and integration issues including national identity, citizenship, migration management policies, national security, and the economic opportunities and challenges brought on by migrants. It measures broad public opinion in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland.    MIGREUROP:  Les frontières assassines de l'Europe  Rapport oct.2009 sur les violations des droits humains     aux frontières de l'Europe.    UNESCO : Migration Without Borders.

Migration Without Borders. Essays on the Free Movement of People What would happen if border controls were to be suppressed and people granted the right to move freely throughout the world? The right “to leave” a country, laid down in Article 13 (2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, has no corresponding right “to enter” a country. This apparent contradiction has produced a publication, edited by two UNESCO programme specialists on international migration. It attempts to explore the scenario of a world where migration knows no borders. Given the current context of strict border controls and a heightened social and political awareness of the issue, this scenario of a world where each person would be free to move around from one country to another and settle wherever he or she chooses, may appear somewhat utopian. But today’s Utopia could become tomorrow’s reality and this publication attempts to analyse the ethical and economic challenges as well as the social consequences of totally free movement all over the world. With contributions by Aderanti Adepoju, Rafael Alarcón, Graziano Battistella, Alejandro I. Canales, Jonathan Crush, Han Entzinger, Bimal Ghosh, Nigel Harris, Jan Kunz, Mari Leinonen, Alicia Maguid, Israel Montiel Armas, Sally Peberdy, Mehmet Ugur and Catherine Wihtol de Wenden, this reference work is a mine of new ideas which fuel the debate and contribute to finding new angles for research into fair and balanced migration policies that respect human rights. This investigation into the free movement of populations constantly reminds us that nowadays access to freedom of movement reflects people’s unequal rights. Although the majority of the world’s population are able to leave their country, only a tiny minority have the right to enter whichever country they choose. Nationals of developed countries and highly qualified people can move around more or less freely, whereas others are dependent on the uncertain granting of visas and residence permits before they can cross a border. This UNESCO book has received great interest amongst researchers and politicians since its publication in English in 2007. It is now available to a wider audience, having been translated into French, Spanish and Russian. A Chinese version will be forthcoming. To order the book in English, French or Spanish, please visit UNESCO Publishing. Download the publication in Русский [PDF].   Migrations sans Frontières. Essais sur la libre circulation des personnes Cette enquête approfondie explore le scénario d’un monde où les gens peuvent bouger librement d’un pays à un autre et s’installer où ils le souhaitent.     Le droit de quitter un État, mis en avant dans l’article 13 (2) de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme n’a pas d’équivalent de droit de libre entrée dans un État. Cette contradiction sert de point de départ à la publication éditée par deux spécialistes de programme en migration internationale de l’UNESCO. Le scénario de migrations sans frontières interpelle de plus en plus les chercheurs, les ONG, et les hommes politiques. A l’heure de la mondialisation, où les mouvements migratoires semblent échapper aux efforts des États pour les réguler, la théorie de la libre circulation est un véritable défi aux points de vue traditionnels sur la gestion et la restriction de ces flux. Elle apporte également de nouvelles perspectives aux débats contemporains sur les pratiques et politiques migratoires.
