The phenomenon of migration poses a pressing difficulty within the global legal framework, heightened by persistent political instability and the repercussions of climate change. These factors compel a significant populace to seek alternative habitats, where they encounter varying degrees of success in societal integration. The article aimed to explore the legal aspects of migration processes in the modern world viewed through the lens of delineating the rights of refugees and migrants. The research method chosen was a systematic review. As a result of the search in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, 53 publications in English from the years 2019 to 2024 were selected. The results demonstrated that developing sound migration policies is paramount in navigating this complex terrain. While initial international resolutions made general declarations, contemporary conventions provide detailed frameworks that, alongside national laws, establish the foundation for the assimilation of non-citizens into host societies. It was demonstrated that the increase in the number of migrants and displaced persons has led to a more detailed legal framework. While the initial international resolutions, such as those from the United Nations, primarily took a declarative stance, contemporary conventions exhibit a significantly more detailed approach. In conjunction with the legal norms of individual nations, these modern frameworks establish the foundation for the assimilation of recently arrived non-citizens into their host society. The results pointed out that this process took place according to the scheme of considering international standards and conventions on the protection of migrants and refugees' rights, which became the basis for developing relevant provisions of national legislation. Consequently, the findings underscored the need to promote inter-state legal cooperation to address migration comprehensively. In addition to highlighting the current state of the law, the study argued for developing innovative solutions to address the complexity of migration in the interconnected world.
