Global migratory patterns underwent a dramatic change with the end of the Cold War, posing new security risks to states and international organizations. This essay examines the intricate relationship that exists between security and migration in the post-Cold War era, which is influenced by a number of variables including environmental changes, political repression, regional conflicts, and economic globalization.

In response, governments everywhere have tightened security and immigration laws, frequently at the expense of humanitarian and human rights concerns. This abstract emphasizes the necessity of all-encompassing, multidimensional strategies that tackle the underlying reasons of migration while striking a balance between the preservation of human rights and national security, stressing the emphasizing the importance of international cooperation and robust policy frameworks.
