Правовые основы регулирования противодействия незаконной миграции

Abstract

The migration issue is becoming increasingly more acute in the context of the international relations processes and world community integration. It is also topical for the Republic of Belarus. The issue of illegal migration across the borders of one specific country, i. e. intervention into its international life, especially its relations with the neighbouring countries arises in the connection of the growth of migration flows and the growth of criminal activities. The problem has a specific nature determined by geographical and political situations. Belarus acts as a form of a staging post for illegals on their way to Western and Eastern Europe due to the “transparent” borders between some of the former USSR republics. The author believes that it is important to continue research of migration problems on the international and national levels, the summarizing of the existing experience within the Republic of Belarus and the UN on the basis of developed and adopted resolutions of the General Assembly and improving of the methodology basis of the control of the border guards as to the aspect of the regulation of migration flows. The author makes the following conclusions on the basis of the above-given statements. Social, economic, political and legal transformations that have been taking place in the Republic of Belarus over recent years, the change of the place and role of the state in the society activities, recognition of priority of human rights and freedoms as the most important constitutional responsibility of the state put forth a number of basic objectives concerning the state security for the frontier guards. Their solution includes among others counteraction to illegal migration. Settlement of issues related to counteraction of illegal migration should be performed on the basis of strict and precise observance of the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus and the existing law. The author believes that during the further development and establishment of frontier infrastructure with regard to the international character of the issues the use and application of specific forms and mechanisms of counteraction to illegal migration should be carried out in accordance with the UN Charter provisions and decisions which formed the basis of the elaboration of methodological aspects of managing the actions of units and subdivisions of frontier guards defending the borders of the Republic of Belarus.
