Mr. Cameron's new crusade against "criminal" migrant wage-workers.

"...Many of these people will be brown, and some completely black, but since all will be very foreign the rest of us aren’t supposed to care very much. Score one for Mr Cameron and his ‘zero tolerance’ approach..." (By Don Flynn, Migrants Rights Network. May 26, 2015)

Mexican-American Border,What More Is Needed?

"The fact of the matter is that the border is more secure now than it has ever been. And yet some members of Congress continue to insist that the border is unsafe, and as such, that they will hold immigration reform hostage until we have secured the border. With more than $17 billion spent each year on immigration and border enforcement, this is not only a misguided approach but an expensive one as well".(Center for American Progress, Issues, Immigration. April 27, 2015)

Remembering the Armenian Genocide.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" said George Santayana.
The Armenian Genocide, still denied by many governments of the world, was the first manifestation of terror that characterized the 20th Century.
The Ucranian Holodomor, The Jewish Holocaust, the bloody Latin American dictatorships, are just a sample of what the human being is capable of doing when he does not remember his history.

Human Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Persons with disabilities also have born free and equal in dignity and rights. 

"The protection guaranteed in other human rights treaties, and grounded in the Universal Declaracion of Human Rights, should apply to all. Persons with disabilities have, however, remained largely "invisible", often side-lined in the rights debate and unable to enjoy the full range of human rights". (ohchr.org, United Nations).

Immigrants Have Fascinating Powers!

"And so where are these tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands – in fact millions – of migrant heroes?  IOM wants to find them and pay homage to them, for without migrants, the wheels would stop turning". (By Niurka Pineiro, IOM, Washington).

Let's stop human trafficking!!

The International Organization for Migration develops programs for human trafficking prevention, protection of victims (survivors) and general information for the correct understanding of global migration. 

Human trafficking is a "business opportunity" caused by two essential ingredients: One of them is the extreme poverty, social violence, or other conditions that make life impossible for the human being in his or her country of origin; the second ingredient consist in the restrictive laws that close the borders to the free exercise of the right to migrate. 

This situation forces the migrants to seek alternative routes of escape, taking the risk of being captured by criminal groups for which they are a simple commodity offered in the market of prostitution, illegal organ trafficking, drug trafficking and organized crime groups.
