IMMIGRANTS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF HOST STATES

Humanity is faced with a deep moral crisis, we as human beings have forgotten the value and dignity of every person as core element of the universal rights and freedoms. As socially responsible people, our ethics call us to acknowledge the immigrant experience and to do the maximum for their accommodation. Host states are obliged to respect the scope of human and political rights of immigrants in the context of international law, as well as current political rights regulations of the country of asylum. Immigrants, like other strangers, are entitled to the same political freedom of expression, association and assembly as host state citizens. These rights are often seen as a threat to the national cohesion of the host state. Responsibility toward immigrants is also applied to nongovernmental organizations which are concerned with them in order to help the administration of international activities in these areas
