Human rights in border management

Human rights in border management refer to the protections and freedoms that individuals should have when crossing borders, regardless of their nationality or status. This includes the right to seek asylum, protection from undue detention or discrimination, and access to fair legal processes. Effective border management should respect the dignity of all people, ensuring that security measures do not violate human rights. Countries are encouraged to implement policies that balance national security with the obligations to uphold human rights, recognizing the intrinsic value of every individual’s rights and well-being.
