Abstract:
This article suggests that migration and internal displacement will become ever more prevalent due to intra-national conflicts, globalization, and the looming threats of climate change-induced disasters. However, the existing international institutions, set up based on migration trends before 1950, need to be refreshed to deal with these types of migrations before inaction costs more lives. Adopting proper policies for refugees and migrants respectively would be a good first step.
