Making Peace With Migration

Every time a group of people line up along the external borders of a

country, debates heat up among government leaders with respect to

migration and asylum procedures. On this episode of PEACE TALKS RADIO,

correspondent Priyanka Shankar explores why migration and asylum are

contentious and how a country can make peace with migration and asylum.

Focusing on how the European Union has been dealing with migration and

asylum, we talk to Petra Molnar, a lawyer and anthropologist, who also

gives the gist of how European countries have been handling the migration

crisis induced by the war in Ukraine. Other guests are Bram Frouws, the

head of the research platform Mixed Migration Centre (MMC) in Geneva. and

.Vasco Malta, the head of the UN’s migration agency in Portugal, to

understand how Portugal getting better marks on their immigration systems

from human rights watchdogs.
