The Curse of Security

 After the end of World War II, humanity dreamed of peace, coexistence and prosperity. They rebuilt their own and foreign homes and factories. They also rebuilt their empathy for others and swore to eliminate religious, ethnic, sexual, racial and other forms of discrimination and intolerance.

Coexistence between different nations, races and religious groups, as well as between genders, and respect for human and children's rights was also crowned by the establishment of the United Nations. Within this organization, the Security Council was also established as a guarantor of the peaceful resolution of disputes between countries, nations, religions, genders and all other social divisions of humanity.

Of course, peaceful coexistence did not last long. 4 years after the end of World War II, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was established. Its operations were initially supposed to be temporary, but there is no record of a period in which its operations were not needed. If anyone dreamed that UNHCR would only operate in Africa, Asia and South America, this dream was shattered by the Hungarian Revolution in the Warsaw Pact in 1956, which caused a wave of Hungarian migrants.

The European continent is very fond of its perception of a conflict-free and peaceful oasis for all other conflicts. The European continent is most plagued by the curse of its peace in the sense of resolving other disputes in other areas and also solving all the problems of foreign poverty or misery. Every war is also an economic, military or security problem for others.

According to the latest data from this office, there are 117.3 million people forcibly displaced worldwide. Among them are 49 million children. Usually, the cause of this is, to put it simply, wars, civil wars and wars between countries.

The largest number of people-migrants (67%) come from five countries: Venezuela, Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan and Sudan. 

 34% of refugee-migrants are resettled in Colombia, Germany, Turkey, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Uganda. It is also sad to note that 71% of migrants are settled in low- or middle-income countries.

Sudan has already contributed 14 million people to the migrant mass in 2023. Ukraine 6.9 million. Syria 6.7 million. Venezuela, according to the latest data, 6.5 million. Afghanistan 4.8 million. Sudan 2.5 million. The former Burma, now called Myanmar, is also among the current crisis areas.

The countries or states that will be designated as safe areas will most likely not see a resolution to the war situations any time soon, as other areas will join the existing crisis areas in 2026, both in the European Union due to the expansion of the Russia-Ukraine war to a wider area, as well as in Asia, Africa and South America. The territorial problem of Greenland between the USA and the European Union (EU) is also topical. There is also no conscious crisis zone of Israel, the existence of which is disputed by some. However, the problem of Gaza or non-existent Palestine is again conscious to an unknown extent, or it is not conscious whether Palestine will expand into the territory of Israel or only into the current territory of Gaza.

Thus, the curse of peaceful oases for migrants is shrinking and the question arises as to where there are still safe areas and who has the right and where to asylum or migrant status. The question also arises as to the meaning of political diplomacy as a means of peaceful resolution of disputes, since politics through diplomacy is increasingly taking the form of a means of aggression and military superiority.
