Abstract

Emerging migration paves the way to understanding the influence of international politics, which indicates new trends of human peace and security. For a long time, post-soviet nation Central Asia has faced tremendous spiral violence among identical interethnic clashes from regional govt. Adaption of democratic values does not mean fully corroborating peace and security among diverse ethnic groups after independence. Still, religious and Cultural factors, stereotypical perceptions, and unequal opportunity induce cross-border infestation, which leads to violation of Migration laws by the regional government. The evident picture of colonial legacy shows premature border security and government brutality on regular migrating ethnic segmentation. Recently, this region has been facing internal and external security challenges due to infilter cross-border migration, and its major failure is due to discriminatory policies and mechanisms by the government and its regional agency. The regime generally denies discrimination, claiming daily and socio-economic harmony, which is to blame. Despite official rhetoric about tolerance and multiculturalism, ethnic minorities face open racism and colonial attitudes from ethnic majorities, suspicions of separatism, and suppression of social movements. Therefore, with the advent of the modern global era, it has become increasingly essential for Central Asian regimes to protect migration rights and endorse international law, which is deeply rooted in ethnic and cultural values in the region. This study has been made using first-hand reports and secondary sources and analyses of the cause of the government’s failure towards ethnic migration violence and associated consequences in Central Asia.
