Are States Interconnected?
The world is on the move. Currently, millions of people are displaced, whether that be refugees, asylum seekers, or stateless persons. Countless factors can force the movement of people with their consent or against their will. A large portion of displaced people that are left out of the statistics are migrants who are smuggled into their destination state. Migrant smuggling consists of assisting migrants to enter or stay illegally in a state and only occurs transnationally. Each sovereign state has their own practices governing immigration, some stricter than others, making relocation for causes of political violence, war, and the betterment of life challenging. The smuggling of migrants proves that states are interconnected based on sustainable development, the violation of human rights, and international conventions and protocols.
