Russia's Position Paper on Immigration and Poverty in the Middle East
Mr. President, The Russian Federation attaches great importance to the High-Level Dialogue. We believe that consideration of migration as a factor of development is a timely and topical matter. According to the UN data, Russia today occupies the second place among the countries with the largest presence of international migrants and, as mentioned in the Secretary-General's report, for the last 15 years has been the hub for various migration flows.

Currently, Russia is a major receiving center, as well as a country of mass arrival and transit of migrants. For the last 15 years the growth of migration surpassed the boldest of forecasts.

The main task for Russia now is to organize a civilized migration.

Within the framework of this task I would like to highlight four priorities for Russia's migration policy:

• ensuring the best conditions for the promotion of the common law standards;

• protecting human rights;

• enforcing law and order and rule of law;

• ensuring maximum benefits from migration in economic, political, social and demographic areas.

On the one hand, Russia has been making efforts to become attractive for migrants, on the other – it has adopted measures to counter illegal migration.

We are happy to see those who arrived to our soil legally. We welcome and support them. But we will continue to take measures against illegal migration. In doing this, we will focus on removing conditions for illegal migration rather than acting against illegal migrants themselves.

Experts' estimates show that today there are about 10 million illegal migrants living in Russia. Most of them are citizens of the former USSR republics and other countries with small labour markets.

We are convinced that one cannot contain illegal

    Throughout the world there are many human right issues that the United States and other country battle daily.

    Act 3, Scene 5 of “Romeo and Juliet” begins with Romeo, who has just spent the night with Juliet, waking up and realizing day has come. Juliet tries to convince Romeo to stay but they both know what will happen if he does, so he quickly leaves (Rom.3.5.1-35). Lady Capulet comes into Juliet’s room and tells Juliet of how Lord Capulet has arranged for her to marry Paris (Rom.3.5.107-110). Juliet says she will not marry Paris which leads to a major conflict with Lord Capulet and eventually him saying he will disown Juliet if she doesn't marry Paris (Rom.3.5.146-196). This scene is used to create even more tension in the play, and to create a sense of urgency as Juliet may have to marry Paris in less than a week.…

    The Treaty of Versailles was considered a “Troubled Treaty”, because it had initially caused more trouble than it was intended to prevent. The purpose of the Treaty of Versailles was to end the long, four year conflict between the Allies and Central Powers, a devastating event known as World War One. Though the Treaty had managed to temporarily keep the peace between nations, it wasn’t signed by all the participants from the war, and had thrown Germany into economic chaos. First, Germany alone was to blame for the First World War. This enormous responsibility left Germany in a crippling debt of three million dollars. The overwhelming reparation fees caused Germany to revert to desperate measures, leading to hyperinflation in the mid twenties. In fact, they were so desperate, the German government started printing money. Unfortunately, this made the value of their currency drop to the point that money was a children’s toy, it was of so little value. Secondly, Germany’s crushed national pride had it’s people looking for a sense of leadership and stability. Their desperation lead the German people to allow leaders like Hitler and Mussolini to take advantage of them, resulting in the creation of Hitler’s National-Socialist Party, otherwise known as the Nazis. This party would later be responsible for the genocide of the Jewish population throughout Germany. Lastly, when Germany was declared accountable for the war, it was written in the Treaty of Versailles that they would have a quota for machinery they could produce, and had their majority of weapons and ammunition confiscated and/or destroyed. Though this was thought to be a good idea, because it would later keep Germany’s military under control, it actually caused them to upgrade their weaponry, and reform their forces, making them more of a threat. Overall, the Treaty of Versailles had earned the name, “a Troubled Treaty” despite its intentions to keep the peace between nations. It instead resulted in a crippling…

    In 1849, Henry David Thoreau disgusted by slavery and the injustices of the Mexican-American War wrote “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience”, where he states that civil disobedience is the deliberate defiance of a law to in order to change government policy or enact social reform. Civil disobedience was a major proponent in the women’s suffrage movement, Mohandas Gandhi’s campaign for independence in India, the civil rights movement in the USA, and the abolition of apartheid in South Africa. However there is a school of thought that sees civil disobedience as a major problem due to it seemingly advocating disorder. In most cases peaceful resistance to certain laws can have a positive impact. Civil disobedience has been the platform in which…

    Today, nationally, immigrants represent 1 in 2 of new workers in the 1990s, and children of immigrants are now approximately 23% of all children in the US. We are fortunate in the immigrants who have arrived in our states – many of whom arrive with already high levels of educational attainment, and who integrate into our workforce and communities, paying taxes, engaging in community development, opening businesses and bringing rich traditions with them. However, with the drug wars increasing in Mexico, more and more criminals are crossing the border illegally to flee from the repercussions of making enemies or simply because they feel that if they come to America and establish themselves in normal society and obtain a fake social security ID and find work to support their family back in…

    What would compel someone into leaving home, which is quite possibly the only world he or she may have ever known, and move to another country? People immigrate to other countries for a variety of reasons; sometimes it is not of their own volition. Economic reasons have always been a huge deciding factor; one only has to examine Ireland’s Great Potato Famine to understand why people left in such large numbers. Religious and political persecution also plays a key factor in someone immigrating to a new country, which will hopefully be a safer environment. Upon arriving in a new country some immigrants choose to retain citizenship with their old world while also becoming citizens of their new home. Why would someone willingly put themselves in a situation that would, at best, provide even more paperwork and, at worst, cause hassle, and grief whenever they traveled abroad? Everyone, or nearly everyone, the world over takes pride in his or her ethnic heritage, so it stands to reason even if someone immigrated to another country they would not wish to forget the culture, it is a part of who they are. Telling a person they can no longer be a part of that person’s native culture, but instead must conform to another standard is not only cruel, it is xenophobic.…

    In 1933, Arnold van Gennep already said “we live in full in what I will call the globalization of humanity ”. Globalization since the 15th century has internationalized and intensified economic, financial, cultural, but also human exchanges . The high demand for workers is reinforced by the demographic ageing of the OECD countries, by the development of emerging countries and the international competition between states around an economy of knowledge and innovation. In 2013, 232 million of migrants - approximately 3% of the world's population - were living abroad. Since 2010, and in particular this year, Europe is facing a major migration crisis. Thus, they…
