The speakers spoke on different issues from their field of action, and at the end, a general overview of migration problems was presented.
Illegal immigration is a national security challenge that requires an effective prevention and contrast strategy. The tools to be used must include the implementation of border security measures, the creation of stricter immigration policies, the increase of resources to fight organized crime, and the development of cooperative relations with the countries of origin of the migrants.
Furthermore, it is necessary to adopt a prevention strategy that includes the implementation of measures to support the economic development of the countries of origin, the promotion of legality, and the increase of controls on migratory flows. The prevention and contrast strategy must be a priority and must be based on sound legislation. The policy will have to provide for an effective control system that protects the fundamental rights of immigrants.
The authorities will have to step up their efforts to identify and dismantle human trafficking networks and strengthen measures to prevent and control illegal immigration, such as increasing personnel and structures dedicated to the surveillance of borders, seas, and airports.
At the end of the activity, IPO representatives exchanged conversations with the speakers, organizers, and other conference participants, where also didn't miss photos with them.
