Law and Migration is an authoritative volume which draws on
statutory and case law to expose the limitations of the law in
protecting the individual caught in the complex web of national and
regional constraints on migration. International law provides for
the exercise of the sovereign power of states to control the entry
of non-nationals. However, more recent international conventions
have shown a growing awareness of the failure of the law to protect
individuals and their families from violation of their human rights
and civil liberties. Whilst avoiding open conflict with the
principle of sovereignty, national courts have strived to comply
with the spirit of human rights conventions and have often decided
in favour of individuals. Despite this, border and internal
controls on entry continue to proliferate. Globally the failure to
establish an adequate legal framework which takes account of forced
migration caused by wars and natural disasters has provoked a
debate beyond the traditional legal norms. This volume presents a
selection of published work from a variety of countriest and
addresses the theoretical questions and policy issues which will
continue to tax lawyers in the twenty first century.
