The Dual Scope of the Refugee Crisis: Humanitarian Disaster or Terrorist Threat?
The Dual Scope of the Refugee Crisis: Humanitarian Disaster or Terrorist Threat?

Summary/Abstract: The refugee crisis remains a top priority topic for discussion and solution on the international scene. The dilemma remains whether the mass migration happening from Africa and Asia to Europe is a humanitarian issue, security threat, economic burden or all of the above. After the numerous media statements from several officials, experts and parties involved that ISIS is rapidly spreading through the refugees on their long and dangerous way across the world, the question remains opened, about the treatment, the status and the outcome of the refugee crisis. This paper will use the qualitative method of examining official statements and reports of the international community, stakeholders involved in this complex matter, politicians and NGOs about the actual situation on the field regarding the migrant crisis, as well as the quantitative data provided by relevant and reliable sources which depict the numbers of this issue when it comes to presenting the facts about the potential security threats, especially terrorism spreading through the migration camps and border lines.
