"If we are to fulfill our pledge to making migration voluntary and safe, orderly and regular, we must address the root causes of the migratory flows....adequate responses to the adverse drivers of migration, most especially, violent conflicts and extreme poverty, must be addressed.
"These solutions should not be considered the responsibility solely of the country of origin. The international community must also assist....
"This is not only a matter of fulfilling commitments to provide international development assistance and humanitarian aid, but also involves the commitment to the integral human development of every individual, providing each person with the basic conditions and opportunities to live a decent life. Few would leave if they had access to jobs, education, health-care and other basic goods and services that are fundamental to every person's fulfillment and basic well-being. Also essential to stability are the fundamental rights to be able to practise one's religion freely, without fear of persecution or discrimination, as well as the right to political participation and freedom of expression. These concerns form an integral part of the 'the right to remain'....
"Those on the move must be welcomed and treated with dignity, even if it is determined later that they must be safely returned to their country of origin....
"all migrants regardless of status, should be guaranteed due process and receive an individual assessment that will determine their status....We must give preference to policies that favour family reunification and prevent their separation throughout the migration process, while working towards ending the practice of detention....
"For those who are given regular status and the possibility of remaining in the country of destination, either temporarily or permanently, it is important to emphasize that integration is neither merely assimilation nor incorporation, but a two-way process rooted in the mutual recognition of the fundamental equality and dignity of all. Such an approach will also help to stem the tide of racism and xenophobia. Those who arrive are, as Pope Francis underlines, 'duty bound not to close themselves from the culture and traditions of the receiving country, respecting above all its laws.' At the same time, integration 'is not the superimposition of one culture over another, nor mutual isolation, with the insidious and dangerous risk of creating ghettos.' It is rather a mutual enrichment based on mutual and interpersonal respect....
"As migrations, even mass migrations, are very likely to continue in the coming years, we consider it necessary to widen the regular and sure channels of emigration through generous and responsible policies, inspired by solidarity and co responsibility" (The Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations, 12/10/18)
