Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The paper presents a theoretical and legal analysis of the definition of prevention of illegal migration. The author of the paper notes that at present there is both scientific and legal uncertainty in understanding the term. The relevance of the topic is confirmed by the fact that at the current stage of development of administrative law there are grounds for distinguishing migration law as an independent branch of law. In turn, prevention of illegal migration can be considered as an institute of the said branch. The study of various monographic works showed that scientists focus on the prevention of illegal migration in the context of criminology. At the same time, there are no relevant and comprehensive works devoted to the meaning of the term. The lack of a unified interpretation of prevention of illegal migration negatively affects the planning and implementation of comprehensive measures in the migration sphere. Based on the results of the study, the author makes a number of conclusions. In particular, it was established that the problem of defining prevention of illegal migration is determined by a number of circumstances: a) the lack of a legal understanding of this term; b) the existence of a dispute about the allocation of the designated term as an institute of migration law; c) different approaches of the legislator, law enforcement officer, and the scientific community to the definition of terms related to prevention activities; d) the absence of systematized migration legislation. Generalization of legislative approaches to the prevention of offenses and crimes, finding the semantic meaning, as well as accumulation of some approaches to the definition of the term under study allowed to develop its author's understanding. Thus, prevention of illegal migration is a set of measures of social, legal, organizational, informational and other nature aimed at identifying and eliminating the causes and conditions that contribute to illegal movement across the border and the presence of migrants on the territory of the state.
