Abstract

This presentation will discuss national policies and practices in North Macedonia for prevention of illegal migration and fight against smuggling of migrants that have been established in the country following the migrant crisis. These will be examined against the backdrop of the big number of illegal migrants that have been registered in North Macedonia in the past couple of years. The idea is to question the policies and practices for prevention and fight against smuggling of migrants in relation to their efficiency and effectiveness to assure border security in the country, as well as to question the compliance of these approaches with human security of migrants. From the developed debate it will emerge that the high number of illegal migrants is due to the presence of organized criminal groups that facilitate illegal migration and smuggling of migrants in the country, which interrogate the observance of the rule of law in the country; and that threats to human security of migrants come as a result of illegal pushbacks at borders and illegal detention of migrants in temporary facilities in the country, which query the whole system of border management and migration and asylum code.
