Paragraph
Paragraph text
States' responses to migration and, more recently, to what is now being termed "the migration crisis" have been ad hoc, short-sighted and inadequate and have led to friction among States, creating an atmosphere of chaos and disorganization that instils fear in the hearts of the citizens of destination countries and feeds all the stereotypes, myths, threats and fantasies that nationalist populist movements exploit with great success.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants
