This article furthers the serach for news global arrangements to reinforce bilateral and multilateral cooperation to combat trafficking among governments for a new and sustainable migration order which would diminish the role of irregular movements of people between nations. Two basic policy concerns have emerged in recent years. To prevent major, destabilizing population movements and related humanitarian disasters from occurring. This could be achieved by way of increased cooperation in areas such as monitoring of human rights; confidence building; peacekeeping; political, humanitarian and military intervention; population policies; environment improvement; development aid; free trade; employment creation; etc. Given present world developments, with a drastic population increase in the mostly poor south and a shrinking population in the mostly rich north, the appearance of large-scale movements of people might not be desirable from the point of view of the nations at both ends, but could realistically be expected to occur. These two recently emerging priorities on the international policy agenda relate closely to each other. Stay-at-home policies must be equally balanced with orderly-movement policies because movements will probably take place anyway - if not in an orderly manner then in a disorderly fashion. -Author
