Abstract

We consider the issues of correlation between the international law of citizens of different states to travel and national legislation restricting illegal migration, which are the subject of interstate agreements. The issue of combating organized illegal migration for Russia is urgent, since the dynamics of this crime indicates an increase in the registration of such crimes and the identified persons who committed them. This is due to the large length of Russian borders and integration with foreign states, which entails an increase in the penetration of foreign citizens into the territory of our country. Illegal migration leads to an increase in ethnic organized crime and related smuggling, drug trafficking, tax evasion and extortion. The fight against this criminal phenomenon is relevant for the entire world community. States seek to protect their citizens, but at the same time are obliged to comply with international legal norms on the issue under consideration. This activity of states should be carried out in accordance with the principles of respect for human rights and freedoms. We analyze international and Russian legislation, damage caused by illegal migration, and propose measures to prevent crime related to illegal migration.
