Summary/Abstract: Since its creation, the world has been marked by divergent interests, in conjunction with the adequate projection of power. There have always been powerful and weak states. Moreover, through-out history there has been migration on different routes. It is a basic modality that shaped the geopolitical map of the world. During present times the migration flows are on the move from poor states, torn by war or crisis, targeting developed countries, especially from the European Union. From an analytical point of view, each type of migration has a special nature regarding the movement of social groups and the goals. The justification for the massive movement of human communities, especially from the Middle East and Northern Africa, is linked to the respect for the fundamental Human Rights. We also must state that the respect of Human Rights is put into practice in the migration destination countries, and little in the countries that generate the migration flow.
