         security of poor
        classes. The immigrant-migrant divide must be seen in this respect. Open
        borders may be a happy prospect for rich immigrants settling in new
        countries, but are not such a welcome prospect for other poor classes
        such as migrant workers and refugees. 
        States have also been interested in perpetuating their interests of
        security. In this respect, they have benefited from labour flows and
        capital flows that the processes of globalisation make possible. Both
        the host country (hosting refugees and migrant workers) as well as the
        country of origin benefit from such capital and labour flows. Migrants
        from Kerala working as white collared labour in countries in Gulf,
        migrants from Sri Lanka who work as housemaids or domestic help in
        countries like Lebanon and other countries in West Asia have helped both
        the host country and the country of origin benefit from remittances sent
        home by migrants. 
        States have even attempted to provide for the security of industrial
        employers. For instance, America has made it possible for employers to
        hire paperless Mexican workers that exempt the employers from providing
        any protection and allow these employers to give them low wages.  
        States have also attempted, in the interests of globalisation, to ensure
        security of spaces. This they have attempted to do, by ridding local
        spaces of slum squalor. They have attempted to wipe out illegality and
        traces of squalor in carrying out beautification, commercialisation
        projects that advertise erstwhile slum localities to be tourist
        destinations.  
        States have on the other hand, not attempted to provide for security of
        livelihood. They have not gone out of the way to enquire into loss of
        various entitlements that result out of displacement and migration.
        Bhutanese refugees in Nepal, Chechen IDPs in the Russian Federation have
        all suffered from the apathy of the respective countries they migrated
        to. They have on the contrary taken away these rights in the context

         such instances such as the Gujarat riots. In this regard, it was noted by
        the participants that there is overwhelming global support for
        terrorist, militant and fundamentalist activities. On the other hand,
        there has been a tendency to associate the categories of migrant and
        terrorist, using terrorist rhetoric to systematically cut off migrants
        from human rights. Thus, states have not recognized the need to pay
        attention to vulnerability and have not heeded the call of human
        security in their global concerns. 
        At the end of the discussions, the participants
        made the following recommendations to the plenary. While acknowledging
        the right of asylum countries to introduce citizenship exams,
        Participants noted that these countries also have a duty to provide
        refugees with proper language/legal support so they have a better chance
        of passing the citizenship exams and to integrate in their countries of
        asylum. It was noted that there is a general need for generating
        awareness campaigns relating to citizenship of women IDPs’/Migrants. 
        The campaign should not only target women IDPs/Migrants, but
        should also be aimed at all other important stakeholders (legislators,
        government officials, host communities, etc.) Many countries seem to be
        dealing with citizenship issues on an ad hoc basis. Therefore
        participants recommended that countries in South Asia and elsewhere need
        to come up with proper policy/legal framework to look into the
        citizenship issues of the displaced persons. It was also agreed that
        states have also been heinously negligent of gender security. There have
        been no attempts to frame universal, global laws of protection for women
        against social, sexual and financial exploitation. The absence of legal
        counselling for poor immigrating women in America and other countries of
        the developed west as well as elsewhere is only one of the aspects of
        gender security that states have ignored to take note of. The
        participants agreed that the existing notions of globalisation, the
