Refugees are travelling farther afield to seek sanctuary, but the political pressures in receiving countries will remain

IN THEORY, countries are obliged to open their doors to refugees and asylum-seekers. The United Nations’ refugee convention forbids governments from sending them back home if they are at risk. In practice, most countries are less than welcoming, and numbers of asylum-seekers are largely determined by geography: they often end up staying for years in the first country where they seek refuge, which tends to be next to the one they are fleeing.

But refugee flows are becoming more globalised, as migrants travel longer distances and to more diverse destinations to seek protection . In the late 1980s the average distance travelled by a refugee was roughly 1,000km; it reached 2,300km in 2006 before falling to 1,800km in the past decade.

Even as refugees travel farther afield to seek sanctuary, the political pressures in receiving countries will remain. In September the European Commission proposed a new pact to manage the influx of refugees arriving at Europe’s borders.
