Description:
Executive Summary: "This report outlines patterns of migrant smuggling
in Asia and presents evidence-based knowledge
to guide policy and strengthen international
cooperation. Developed by the United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime, it is part of a series
of knowledge products considering acute and
far-reaching issues confronting governments and
communities in South-East Asia, as part of an
ongoing analytical and capacity-strengthening
process.
Migrant smuggling occurs against the backdrop
of regional integration within Asia, which has
created a rapid increase in the cross-border
movement of people and goods. Countries often
have a multifaceted relationship to the migration
phenomenon, simultaneously serving as a source,
transit and destination for regular and irregular
migration. Although most migrant smuggling in the
region takes place
within
Asia, smuggled migrants
are also reaching destinations in Australia, New
Zealand, Europe and North America..."
