Broken States, Open Borders: The South Asian Migration and State Corruption Crisis

Cabinet of Pakistan | 6-Way Crisis

Political instability, economic hardship, and corruption across nations in South Asia have contributed to growing migration pressures, placing significant strain on governments and border communities. Pakistan has long hosted Afghan refugees fleeing decades of conflict, but the strain this puts on domestic economies and resources has severely intensified debates over immigration policy and the treatment of displaced populations. Access to essential services have become increasingly urgent.

The Cabinet of Pakistan must determine how to manage migration while addressing stringent corruption within state institutions and protecting national security. Delegates should consider strategies to strengthen border oversight, improve transparency in immigration procedures, and address the humanitarian consequences of displacement. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the Cabinet to develop sustainable policies that protect Pakistan’s national interests while addressing the humanitarian crises of migration.
