Morocco a reliable and committed partner in migration management, EU urged to share responsibility
The management of migratory flows requires a shared responsibility between Morocco and the European Union, according to experts. Morocco has consistently demonstrated its commitment through continuous monitoring, efforts to combat irregular migration and human trafficking networks, and close cooperation with European partners. However, the EU is urged to fully assume its role and address the multifaceted nature of migration, which extends beyond border security to include economic, social, and developmental factors. Experts like Belgian jurist Geoffroy Generet and Professor of Law at Paris-Cit茅 University J茅r么me Besnard emphasize that Morocco should not be seen merely as Europe's shield but as a strategic partner in developing a comprehensive, balanced, and sustainable migration policy. Paolo von Schirach, president of the Global Policy Institute, also highlights Morocco's responsible management of migratory flows and calls for European countries to do the same, advocating for enhanced coordination and more effective alert mechanisms. The article stresses that a truly global migration policy must combine firmness, prevention, respect for the law, and protection of individuals, moving beyond a purely security-focused approach to address the root causes of migration.
