Free migration

Magna Carta or "Great Charter" was one of the world's first documents containing commitments by a sovereign to his people to respect certain legal rights

Free migration or open immigration is the position that people should be able to migrate to whatever country they choose with few restrictions.

From a human-rights perspective, free migration may be seen to complement Article 13 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights:

  1. Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State.
  2. Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.[1]
