Immigration Detention - Law, History, Politics (Hardcover)

The liberal legal ideal of protection of the individual against
administrative detention without trial is embodied in the habeas
corpus tradition. However, the use of detention to control
immigration has gone from a wartime exception to normal practice,
thus calling into question modern states' adherence to the rule of
law. Daniel Wilsher traces how modern states have come to use
long-term detention of immigrants without judicial control. He
examines the wider emerging international human rights challenge
presented by detention based upon protecting 'national sovereignty'
in an age of global migration. He explores the vulnerable political
status of immigrants and shows how attempts to close liberal
societies can create 'unwanted persons' who are denied fundamental
rights. To conclude, he proposes a set of standards to ensure that
efforts to control migration, including the use of detention,
conform to principles of law and uphold basic rights regardless of
immigration status.
