Increasingly, European and other Western states have sought to
control the movement of refugees outside their borders. To do this,
states have adopted a variety of measures - including carrier
sanctions, interception of migrants at sea, posting of immigration
officers in foreign countries and external processing of
asylum-seekers. This book focuses on the legal implications of
external mechanisms of migration control for the protection of
refugees and irregular migrants. The book explores how refugee and
human rights law has responded to the new measures adopted by
states, and how states have sought cooperation with other actors in
the context of migration control. The book defends the thesis that
when European states attempt to control the movement of migrants
outside their territories, they remain responsible under
international law for protecting the rights of refugees as well as
their general human rights. It also identifies how EU law governs
and constrains the various types of pre-border migration
enforcement employed by EU Member States, and examines how
unfolding practices of external migration control conform with
international law. This is a work which will be essential reading
for scholars and practitioners of asylum and refugee law throughout
Europe and the wider world. The book received 'The Max van der
Stoel Human Rights Award 2011' (first prize category
dissertations); and the 'Erasmianum Study Prize 2011'.
