Abstract

A wide array of non-State armed actors and organized criminal groups are increasingly operational within Europe as the international migration hubs for illicit operations into trans-continental routes, with respective criminal counterparts in South America, Africa and Asia, operating reciprocally. A lack of minimum adequate States´ attention is occurring over the sea legitimate sovereignties in addition to nearly no proper monitoring and evaluation over sea borders controls frameworks while there are numerous other ports making South America, Africa, Europe and Asia more and more erroneously connected what causes a negative regional migration policy for host States. On this proposal the focus is on Europe as the host continent based upon: (a) the major criminal organizations gaining ground by exploring fluvial, land and sea routes: (b) States´ capabilities and best practices to combat criminal networks: and (c) a brief punctual analysis over the shipping companies and national flags that have been listed within such global illicit trade vis-à-vis their official responses as per their transportation of non-legal goods. Objecting to make the international community more aware and capable to converge on field-applied researches and policies deserves an imperative sequential multidimensional and cross-sectors research 1st over operational off-State belligerent groups and their respective illegal routes to be presented as a beacon for re designing local, regional, and coordinated international State intervention policies. Therefore, local and global multi-stakeholder partnerships for (re) structuring States apparatuses to strengthen international security and defence policies are objected to meet quite complex regional maritime hubs of illegal migration related activities connecting vastly four continents: South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. The security dilemmas presented by vast inter-sections of numerous non-State armed groups and organised criminal groups through their respective illegal land and sea routes have increasingly become a local and global theme, alike. By addressing these off-State belligerent actors on resorting to a modus operandi methodology framework of both quantitative and qualitative analyses how shall the international community redesign more properly coordinated and integrated local, national and international intervention policies? Therefore, in Europe a few key converging or controversial on-going / valid / bilateral or multilateral migration agreements are to be presented via a thoroughly critical multi-dimensional and cross-sectors required revision via this proposal that urges local and regional multi-Stakeholders partnerships for (re) structuring States apparatuses via regional and also global partnerships in order to strengthen regional and international migration policies to foster defence and security policies simultaneously, as well, for the sake of migrants and host vulnerable communities throughout Europe.
