Illegal Immigration In Algeria And The Role Of Human Security In Curbing This Phenomenon

Authors : Boumerzak Mohammed . Ayad Mohammed .

Abstract

Illegal immigration is one of the problems that has occupied and continues to occupy the attention of governments and public opinion. It raises concerns worldwide as it has become a primary focus of countries due to the resulting challenges that negatively affect their stability and security. Consequently, countries are actively seeking to identify the causes leading to this phenomenon in order to prevent and address it. Like other nations, Algeria has developed a range of strategies and approaches, with a significant emphasis on the human security approach, to mitigate the occurrence of illegal immigration. Throughout the process of countering this issue and employing multiple strategies—including legal, security, and economic measures—Algeria has aimed to combat this phenomenon, which is often associated with crimes such as terrorism, human trafficking, and drug-related offenses. These crimes have evolved into significant threats to Algeria's security and stability.
