New York UN High-Level Meeting - Navigating Migration: Addressing Displacement in times of multiple crises

25 Sept

Bivši predsednik republike Borut Pahor danes v New Yorku v okviru XXX. High Level Meeting nastopa v razpravi “Navigating Migration: Addressing Displacement in times of multiple crises”. Prva je govorila Theresa May, nekdanja britanska premierka. V govoru o migracijah se je nekdanji predsednik Pahor zavzel za bolj prepričljivo reševanje tega globalnega izziva. Po njegovem je bistveno, da se povleče veliko bolj jasna razlika med zakonitimi in nezakonitimi migracijami. Glede zakonitih migracij je poudaril potrebo po bolj razumevajoči regulaciji, za nezakonite migracije pa potrebo po njihovem bolj doslednem preprečevanju. Samo jasno razlikovanje med zakonitimi in nezakonitimi migracijami lahko prispeva k oblikovanju potrebnega političnega soglasja za soočanje z izzivi sodobnih migracij.

Pahor se je pred začetkom razprave srečal s številnimi prijatelji med katerimi so Ehud Barak, Theresa May, Amre Moussa, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, Boris Tadić, Kolinda Grabar Kitarović in Susan Elliott.

Today in New York, former President Borut Pahor is participating in the XXX High-Level Meeting, taking part in the discussion “Navigating Migration: Addressing Displacement in Times of Multiple Crises.” The debate opened with a speech by former UK Prime Minister Theresa May. In his address on migration, Pahor called for a more effective and convincing approach to tackling this global challenge. He emphasized the need for a much clearer distinction between legal and illegal migration. While advocating for a more understanding and structured regulation of legal migration, he stressed the importance of stricter measures to prevent illegal migration. According to Pahor, only a clear differentiation between legal and illegal migration can help build the necessary political consensus to address the complex challenges of modern migration effectively.

Before the start of the discussion Pahor met with several distinguished colleagues and friends. Among them were former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former UK Prime Minister Theresa May, former Secretary-General of the Arab League Amre Moussa, former EU Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner, former Serbian President Boris Tadić, former Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, and former U.S. diplomat Susan Elliott.
