Origin - 2019 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 4, after the words "climate change adaptation", insert the following words:

"as long as the particular migrants obtain the approval of their country of destination, do not cause a significant burden to the host country and do not compromise the living conditions and culture of those already living in the area".

Explanatory note

The welfare systems of almost all host-countries must deal with massive non-calculable costs caused by immigrants. These social systems are mostly on the edge of collapse.

Despite the estimated education status, the professional skills of migrants are mostly of no use to the host country.
