The book focuses on the legal
implications of external mechanisms of migration control for the
protection of refugees and irregular migrants. It defends the thesis
that when European states endeavor to control the movement of migrants
outside their territories, they remain responsible under international
law for upholding the rights of refugees and more general human rights.
The book explores how refugee and human rights law responds to a
phenomenon whereby states engage in external activity and seek
cooperation with other actors in the context of migration control; how
EU law governs and constrains the various types of pre-border migration
enforcement employed by the Member States of the European Union; and
examines the conformity with international law of current and unfolding
practices of external migration control.LEI Universiteit LeidenNWODe bescherming van fundamentele rechten in een integrerend Europ
