Abstract: Over the last 15 years around 22,000 men, women and children have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea. Majority of these people are fleeing from conflict and poverty mainly from the Middle East. Despite the vast migration of refugees to the European countries in search for better and safer environments very little has been done by the international community to save the situation. Thousands of migrants die in the process while others end up being subjected to harsh migration laws. In 2015 the total number of people that were subjected to death in attempt to reach Europe was about 2373. The International Community response in recent years to migration across the Mediterranean has focused largely on trying to prevent or discourage people attempting to make dangerous crossing. In reality, attempts to prevent crossing are likely to fail as this approach overlook the reasons people are willing to risk their lives to attempt several deadly sea passages. This paper looks at the challenges of the International Migration Crises and the ongoing suffering. It seeks to set out the problem of the international Migration crises and the causes of the migration. This work seeks to Challenge the United Nations to consider passing a resolution that all governments provide comprehensive responses, expand safe and legal channels of migration and act with humanity, compassion and in accordance with their international obligations. Advocating for the respectful and fair treatment of Migrants, and defend their access to procedures that guarantee basic rights enshrined in international law, albeit to help resolve this international migration crises.
