Irregular People Movement, People Smuggling and Human Trafficking.
The Pacific faces complex challenges regarding the movement of people. While some seek better opportunities through regular migration channels, others resort to irregular means. It’s crucial to distinguish between irregular migration, people smuggling, and human trafficking to develop effective responses that protect the vulnerable and uphold human rights.
