The Atlas of Migration is more than just a publication—it is a testament to the power of data and rigorous analysis in illuminating the multifaceted nature of migratory movements. The 2024 edition of the Atlas continues to serve as a vital tool for policymakers, researchers and the public at large, offering a wealth of data to cut through the confusion and misinformation that often surrounds the discourse on migration. The Atlas provides the latest harmonised and validated data on migration for the 27 EU Member States and for 171 countries and territories around the world. It brings together data from many reliable sources, such as Eurostat, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs, the World Bank and many others. This year’s thematic chapter of the Atlas delves into the nuanced motivations behind migration, moving beyond simplified narratives in favour of a more comprehensive view that acknowledges the diverse and often overlapping reasons that propel individuals to move.

In order to address the diversity of country and territory codes and names used in the EU institutions, the European Commission has developed a corporate code list of countries and territories that covers the different use cases its services have.

The Republic of Lithuania is a unitary state where legislative authority is vested in the central Government. The regulatory authority is vested in the Parliament (the Seimas), whereas the implementation and execution of legislation are among the main competences of the Government (Vyriausybė) and its ministries and agencies. Local administration or regional institutions have no significant competence in the implementation of the principle of equal treatment. The Parliamentary Human Rights Committee supervises implementation of equal opportunities policies and assesses legislative initiatives in this field.
