There are reasons for migration flows. The most important of these are factors such as wars and armed conflicts, systematic human rights violations, and ethnic and religious conflicts and repression. However, natural disasters and poverty resulting from the lack of adequate economic and democratic structures are also among the most frequent causes of migration flows.
The effects of the crisis of world capitalism and the consequences of its irregular and asymmetrical development are exacerbating the economic and social situation in many countries. The uprisings in the Arab world are also an expression of this phenomenon, which also tends to increase migration flows. The European Union’s discourse on this subject is frequently hypocritical, and it operates a policy of double standards. On the one hand, it claims to defend human rights in third countries, whilst maintaining a self-serving view of them when it comes to attacking any of these countries. On the other hand, it is complicit in the continuation of serious situations, such as the one occurring on Lampedusa, Italy.
Prevention of these migration flows requires measures based on a genuine policy of development cooperation and aid, of solidarity and of peace promotion, including peaceful conflict-resolution, which is currently not the case."@en1
