The phenomenon of illegal migration: concept and forms of manifestation

Abstract

This scientific article aims to analyze the elements that shape the notion of migration, its normative and practical manifestations, highlighting also certain quantitative (statistical) elements. The author has set the following objectives: identifying the defining features of the crime of organizing illegal migration, through the very perspective of the notion of illegal migration; configuring and analyzing the types of migration; evaluating the forms of manifestation of illegal migration. The effective fight against the phenomenon of illegal migration, in the opinion of the author, is related not only to the necessity and importance of collaborative measures in the intervention of the authorities involved in the fight against this socially dangerous phenomenon, but also to the development and adoption of regulations that ensure the appropriate criminal liability of persons who have committed harmful acts related to the illegal trafficking of migrants. According to the author, all the latter must be strictly within the limits of an effective legal framework in international, regional and national aspects.
