19. 3.b. The Migration Crisis for Europe

20. Migration of people in general  Around 300 million people worldwide live in countries other than those of their birth (4% of the world’s people)  Americans are focused on why people come IN to the US, but we really need to look at why they LEAVE their home countries.

21. Two types of migrants  And two different reasons why people emigrate.

22. Refugees  Those who are outside their home country and seek asylum because of “a well-founded fear of persecution because of [their] race, religion, nationality, or membership of a particular group or political opinion.” (1951 Refugee Convention, I[A]).  The “push factor” of political conflicts (not the “pull”)

23. Facts about refugees worldwide  As of 2013, there were 51.2 million “forcibly displaced people” (the most since the end of World War II)*  16.7 million refugees  33.3 million Internally Displaced Persons  1.2 million asylum seekers  Third country resettlement is the third, last resort option after 1) voluntary repatriation and 2) asylum in neighboring country

24. Facts about refugee resettlement in the US  Numbers of refugees resettled each year in the US  Usually under 80,000**  Top five countries from which refugees have come in the last 20 years?***  Former Soviet Union (380,000)  Vietnam (180,000)  Former Yugoslavia (169,000)  Iraq (106,000)  Myanmar (104,000)

25. USA to take 10,000 Syrians! Lebanon has taken in Syrian refugees equal to 25% of its population. The equivalent proportion for the US would be 79 million people.

26. Economic migrants  Those who follow the “pull” of economic opportunity (Supply and Demand).  The majority of people worldwide who migrate are on this track ( not refugees).

27. 3.c. The SDGs: Draining the Swamps?

28. Follow-up to the MDGs

30. Violation of KISS?  MDGs = 8 goals with 21 target measures  SDGs = 17 goals with 169 target measures

31. Human development and human security  Draining the Swamp: Underlying Causes  Helping to remove underlying conditions that contribute to violence and war.  Advancing and energizing pursuit of the SDGs through UN General Assembly efforts

32. 4. Steps of the process for our simulation A.Researching B.Writing resolutions C.Getting resolutions to the full floor D.Rules of procedure
