Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how African irregular migration to Europe shapes global security and social stability, moving beyond a narrow border-control framing to consider organized crime, human security, and community resilience together. Methodology: The study adopts a qualitative documentary research design, drawing on institutional reports issued between 2021 and 2026 by the International Organization for Migration, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, UNHCR, Frontex, and the European Union, together with peer-reviewed literature identified through purposive selection and analyzed thematically. Results: Findings show that irregular migration sustains transnational smuggling and trafficking economies, weakens border governance through corruption and document fraud, and exposes migrants to death, exploitation, and abuse, while restrictive enforcement measures tend to displace rather than eliminate dangerous routes. Conclusions: Global security and social stability cannot be secured through border control alone; they require balanced governance that combines law enforcement with employment creation, protection, and regular migration pathways. Limitations: As a documentary study, the paper does not generate new primary or statistical data and cannot establish causal relationships between irregular migration and insecurity. Contributions: The paper integrates human security, push-pull, and transnational organized crime perspectives into a single explanatory chain and offers policy recommendations for African and European institutions seeking more sustainable migration governance.

Abstract

Purpose: This article examines the adequacy of international labour, human rights and trade-law frameworks for managing the digital labour transition driven by artificial intelligence, with attention to Universal Basic Income as a possible component of future social protection. Methodology: Using a qualitative documentary research design, the study analyses international legal instruments, International Labour Organization standards (ILOs), United Nations (UN) human rights frameworks and World Trade Organization (WTO) materials through a four-theme thematic coding structure. Results: International law provides important foundations for technological labour transition through rights to work, social security, non-discrimination and social dialogue, but does not establish Universal Basic Income as an international legal entitlement, while international trade rules facilitate technological diffusion without a comprehensive framework for distributing the social costs of displacement. Conclusions: The article argues for an integrated international framework linking artificial intelligence governance, labour-market transition, social protection, digital trade, skills development and sustainable fiscal mechanisms, while allowing states flexibility in determining whether Universal Basic Income should complement existing social security systems. Limitations: The study relies on documentary evidence rather than empirical labour-market data from affected workers, and rapidly evolving artificial intelligence capabilities mean exposure estimates may shift before policy frameworks are implemented. Contributions: The article offers a conceptual bridge linking labour law, human rights law, trade governance and fiscal policy around managing technological transition while protecting human dignity.
