Abstract :The paper explores migrations and media concerning the human security conceptualization dilemma. Prevention programs of media propaganda as a separate phenomenon based on proper longitudinal, multidisciplinary research into the etiology and consequences can contribute to human rights. Migration is an essential factor of human and international security, and the lack of adequate normative dynamics neglects human rights accelerating new conflicts. The term migrant, and such homogenization in which a group of people tries to portray themselves as a mass in which all have the same characteristics, goals are fertile ground for expanding hate speech, incitement, and various forms of generalization. Refugees and migrants should be recognized as relevant and respected sections of the audience with specific interests, needs, and the opportunity to develop a voice that can be heard. Viewing members of other cultures as `enemies` or `others` that can harm collective identity is not a liberal principle but a nationalist one and a significant portion of anti-migrant attitudes are interpreted from a cultural perspective. Ethnic discrimination leaves a strong mark on migrants` psychological state, and the impact of perceived threat on psychological well-being is under the influence of moderators and in mind attending actual conflicts. The fight against hate speech must be reactive insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(sanctioning hate speech); and proactive media education and media literacy programs aimed at the general population. Minimizing sensationalism journalism undermines the quality of public debate and thus, in a way, legitimizes its low level of communication culture in the public space from which it develops, and inappropriate speech flourishes uncontrollably. By accepting liberal principles, states should promote equality and respect for society`s identity.
