Unioeste 2° Dia 2016All in the same boat: the challenges of mixed migration
Factors that have contributed to the increase in the scale of international migration include globalization and growing disparities in living conditions, both within and between countries. Among the people on the move today, many are seeking employment or educational opportunities, others want to reunite with family members and still more are fleeing persecution, conflict or blind violence in their countries.
While refugees and asylum seekers account for only a small proportion of the global movement of people, they frequently travel alongside migrants. Many of these movements are irregular, in the sense that they often take place without the requisite documentation, use unauthorized border crossing points or involve smugglers. The people who move in this manner place their lives at risk. They are often obliged to travel in inhumane conditions and may be exposed to exploitation and abuse. States regard such movements as a threat to their sovereignty and security. And yet this may be, in some cases, the only escape route open to those fleeing war or persecution.
While recognizing that border controls are essential for combatting international crime, including smuggling and trafficking, the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) stresses the need for practical protection safeguards to ensure that such measures are not applied in an indiscriminate or disproportionate manner and do not lead to refugees being returned to countries where their life or liberty would be at risk. UNHCR works with governments around the world to help them respond to some of these challenges in a coherent and practical way.

1. Los Angeles officials have come up with a surprisingly low-tech way to fight the region’s water crisis: mil-
2. lions of floating plastic balls.
3. As part of a $34.5 million project, the city’s Department of Water and Power has released nearly 100 mil-
4. lion of so-called “shade balls” into three local reservoirs in recent months. The layer of balls protects water from
5. algae formation, dust, rain and wildlife.
6. Perhaps more importantly, the black balls also help to prevent evaporation. According to Los Angeles
7. Mayor Eric Garcetti, the balls could conserve 300 million gallons of reservoir water each year – water that Cali-
8. fornia desperately needs.
9. On a chemical level, the balls prevent the production of bromate, a suspected carcinogen. Bromate forms
10. when naturally occurring bromite reacts with added chlorine and sunlight.
11. Shade balls will likely become a permanent fixture atop reservoirs. This particular batch will be deployed
12. for decade, after which time they will be removed, recycled and replaced.
13. “LADWP’s innovative use of shade balls will protect our water supply and ensure that residents have
14. access to clean, safe, and ready-to-drink water. As we work to ensure a more sustainable and resilient future
15. for L.A., I look forward to more creative, pioneering and cost-effective solutions,” Los Angeles Council member
16. Felipe Fuentes, chair of the city’s Energy and Environment Committee, said in a news release.
