Migration (WP1427)

• Human rights, good governance and faith
• Sustainable development and the environment

We ask what the root causes are and what causes migrants to leave their first, second or third country of asylum. We also discuss whether the international law needs to be changed and ask what is done about the loss of resource when people migrate.
