The Organization of American States (OAS) and the Migration Policy Institute today signed an agreement to cooperate in research and education on international migration and the flow of migrants in the region.
At the signing ceremony, Secretary General Luis Almagro recalled that the phenomenon of migration "has been a constant reality in the hemisphere and in the work of the General Secretariat since we assumed this task. Today more than ever, it presents challenges that go beyond national dimensions, requiring rethinking alternative solutions with a regional and, in several cases, hemispheric perspective."
For his part, the President of the Migration Policy Institute, Andrew Selee, referred to the urgency of the issue given the current migration situation of nationals from Venezuela, Haiti and different countries of Central America. "We are facing a situation in which, on one hand, the States want to control their borders and they have a right to do so; and at the same time, many people in our region leave their countries out of necessity with legitimate demands for asylum and protection. Combining these two needs is a public policy task on which we will work together," he said.
The ceremony took place at the OAS headquarters in Washington, DC.
