The present study has been carried out under the Project on Facilitating Migration Management in North and Central Asia, which is being run by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). Its geographical scope covers the countries of the North and Central Asian subregion, namely Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. As a consequence of their independence in the early 1990s, the opening of their borders to other countries and their active involvement in globalization, as well as uneven demographic and economic development, these countries have been confronted with a new challenge, namely that of effectively managing international migration. Thus, the task of the present study is to review the existing legislation and institutional frameworks in the field of international migration in both the countries of origin and destination and to make recommendations on how to harmonize migration management systems so as to improve their effectiveness.
