Abstract
Migration and security (human security) is not a new idea but it has remarkable revival in last decade. In the policy world, human rights and human security are the two frameworks that most reinforce each other. The human security approach shares with human rights concerns for protecting freedom, enhancing opportunities, but additionally puts focus on protection from critical and pervasive threats.
However, sometimes the situation becomes ambiguous and states question whether the right to migrate (in the face of large, unmanageable, irregular flows) weakens the public (human) security legal framework.
The article provides an overview of the migration situation in Lithuania in the last decade, using statistical data, and assesses the challenges of decision-making in relation to the actors involved in migration processes.
