If you believe that States have complete discretion in handling
migration matters and that migrants are not protected under
international law, read this book. You will be amazed by the wealth
of international instruments, treaties, standards and principles
existing in international law. Rights and obligations of States, as
well as rights and duties of migrants, are defined in a great
number of legal instruments - some of them hard to find - stemming
from various branches of law and constituting what is known as
"international migration law". This publication assists readers -
be they academics, students, practitioners, experts or migrants
themselves - to better orientate themselves in this web of norms
and principles existing at the international level. The focus of
the Compendium is a comprehensive compilation of universal
instruments with varying degrees of legal force - from
authoritative international treaties, through customary
international law, to the sets of principles and guidelines which,
although non-binding, are nonetheless of clear contemporary
relevance and can contribute to the progressive development of law
in areas not yet covered by "hard" norms. To further this end, this
book is being released as a companion to International Migration
Law - Developing Paradigms and Key Challenges (edited by R.
Cholewinski, R. Perruchoud and E. MacDonald and published by T.M.C.
Asser Press, The Hague 2007), which shows how these norms have been
applied and are developing in various concrete contexts. Richard
Perruchoud is Director of the International migration Law and Legal
Affairs Department of the International Organization for Migration
in Geneva. Katarina Toemoelova is an Associate Legal Officer in the
same Department of IOM.
