Oct 03, 2013
UNITED NATIONS, CMC – United Nations officials have underscored the plight of Caribbean and other migrants, stressing that countries should increase efforts to protect their rights while finding ways to integrate their contributions to society into the post-2015 development agenda.
“Evidence clearly shows that migration contributes significantly to development,” the Deputy Secretary-General, Jan Eliasson, told reporters here on Wednesday on the eve of the General Assembly’s High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development.
“Migrant and Diaspora communities can bring about innovation, trade and investment. Migrants contribute to economic development as entrepreneurs by creating business start-ups and employment,” he said.
