Abstract

This study discusses that Thailand and Hungary embrace the availability of human rights in an unsustainable form, specifically in the case of irregular economic migrants. Over years, Europe and Southeast Asia have witnessed extensive human migration within the region due to scarcities, poverties, and climate changes. Humans migrate for work. However, despite the universal conduct of human rights for migrants, irregular migrant workers in Thailand and Hungary hardly ever earn such rights. This is because migration issues filter into the talk of both countries’ national security. In fact, economic migrants are interpreted as a threat that potentially causes multi-layered difficulties in the society for a long run. This study reveals that Thailand’s and Hungary’s migration management is subject to the ad-hocracy and situation-based policies that are instituted in these countries as security mechanisms to prevent the formation of transnational issues and social obstacles. They oversimplify the supposed existence of human rights as in the distinction of individual statuses – legal rights and moral rights. As such, it further effects the unfeasibility of human rights. This research has been conducted with qualitative methodology and used the theory of the push and pull model (1996) and Galtung’s violent triangle (1990)
