Policies of the Maltese government related to the treatment of irregular migrants from 2015-2021

Abstract

This study will examine the policies of the Maltese government related to the treatment of irregular migrants and the Maltese cultural attitudes towards migration. To gain a better understanding of this topic, the researcher analysed current research policies, NGO reports, government strategies, interviews with migrants, surveys with locals, and spoke directly with members of the human rights directorate for more missing data on integration programs. Our results show that the Maltese migration policies have only recently focused on integration efforts. Key aspects of its strategy are missing to integrate migrants into Maltese society effectively. Additionally, their 2020 annual report assessing the program has yet to be published. This research aims to provide a general analysis of the positive and negative factors relating to migration policies and attitudes towards migration and migrants. The researcher's goal is that this framework will lay the groundwork for future research within the field of conflict analysis and resolution.
