CBC | The backlash against migration in the 2010s and bold ideas for the future

Published: 6 January 2020

"What happened in the last decade is that people have realized that migration was an important human phenomenon and that it would not stop. Migration is not a tap that you can turn on and turn off. Migration is something that happens, that has always happened and that will continue to happen. Migration is a normal reaction to political, social, economic stress," François °ä°ùé±è±ð²¹³Ü told The Sunday Edition's host Michael Enright.

°ä°ùé±è±ð²¹³Ü served as the United Nations Special Rapporteur for the Human Rights of Migrants from 2011 to 2017 — six crucial years in the history of this decade. He is also the Hans & Tamar Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law at UUÖ±²¥, as well as the Director of the UUÖ±²¥ Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism.
