5.3: Migration Management

Promote Orderly and Humane Means for Migration Management.

Other Information:

People migrate for many reasons, including to escape conflict or persecution, to avoid natural disasters and environmental degradation, to seek economic opportunities, and to reunite with family. Among migrants, women and children are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Addressing the challenges of migration is important, not only because the United States is a destination country, but also because we believe that the exploitation of migrants is a serious affront to human dignity. The U.S. Government will help build the capacity of host governments to manage migration effectively and to ensure full respect for the human rights of vulnerable migrants in accordance with law. We will promote orderly and humane international migration by supporting and participating in regional migration dialogues that bring together governments to share best practices and cooperate on a range of region-specific issues, including border control, asylum procedures, and the protection of the human rights of migrants. We will provide protection and other services such as financial, material, and technical assistance to meet basic human needs and reintegrate returning vulnerable migrants. We will continue to support, according to need, the resettlement in Israel of humanitarian migrants from the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Near East, and other countries.
