Dear Colleague,

CALL FOR PAPERS - deadline 23rd July 2018

On behalf of the Organising Committee you are cordially invited to attend and participate in the 2019 World Border Security Congress in Casablanca, Morocco on 19th-21st March 2019, co-hosted by the Ministere de l’Interieur (Ministry of Interior) & Directeur de la Migration at de la Surveillance des Frontieres (Director General for Border Surveillance & Migration).

Borders in the Maghreb are increasingly dangerous. Armed with tools designed for the pre–Arab Spring environment, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia face a complex new world of transnational actors that leverage borders for profit and for sanctuary.

The Arab Maghreb Union (AMU) was designed to deepen cooperation among the Maghreb states, buttress the region’s economy through greater interregional trade, enable the free movement of people, and lay the groundwork for future political integration. However, the promise of an integrated Maghreb has not materialized, though the union still exists.

The region is also a main thoroughfare for the West African human trafficking and migration route to Southern Europe, with access to Spanish soil and the EU border in the North African enclaves of Melilla and Cueta, just a short journey from mainland Europe across the Meditteranean, whilst smuggling of arms and illegal goods across North Africa also adds pressure on the governments and border security forces of the region.

Controlling and managing international borders in the 21st Century continues to challenge the border control and immigration agencies around the world. It is generally agreed that in a globalised world borders should be as open as possible, but threats continue to remain in ever evolving circumstances and situations.

Building Trust and Co-operation through Discussion and Dialogue

It is therefore both a privilege and honour to invite you to attend and join us at the 2019 World Border Security Congress in Casablanca, Morocco on 19th-21st March 2019.
