ABSTRACT
Every year, more than five million people cross
international borders to go and live in a developed country. They would like
better life, although they must face so much risk of their life. Today, more than 214
million people are living outside their countries of origin. Migrants may be subjected
to conflict, muliple discriminaion, violence, and exploitation. They have human rights problems that are not yet
protected well. The human rights of migrants must be promoted and protected by
law. The authorities in the
borders must not obstacle the fulfilment and realizations of human rights for
all the people, who pass away through them. It is obbligation for the
government to garantee the freedom and fundamental rights of people; those are private, civil, politic, economic, social, and culture rights. The UN stablishes the fundamental rights
of migrants workers, without any discriminations. The human dignity of the every person is more
important than the other things. The value of human person is on their dignity. The rights of the migrants
must be respected, protected, and
promoted whereever they live. Every
independent country has sovranity and self jurisdiction to govern itself. And
every country has borders. The border areas are not only as independent of
territories, but as privileged areas for protecting and promoting humanity,
peace, justice, and human rights. Boders
have important significant as a face of the country, for promoting and
protecting human rights. The world distribution of opportunities is extremely
unequal. The movement of the people as migrants is an expression of looking for better life and needing the protection from the authorities, specially in the
borders. The function of borders is not only as line between two countries, but
as areas for promoting the humanity in all aspects. The authorities of the
borders should respect the humanity capable to promote the peace, manage the
conflict, and protect the human
rights amongts the migrants. The urgent action today for the government is to
create the culture of peace, so the global peace will be realized in all over
the world.
