International Migration Law: Developing Paradigms and Key Challenges (edited by R. Cholewinski, R. Perruchoud, and E. MacDonald., T.M.C Asser Press 2007)
This publication builds upon a monograph on Migration and International Legal Norms (edited by T.A. Aleinikoff and V. Chetail, T.M.C. Asser Press 2003), examining developments of certain migration-related issues first addressed in the 2003 volume, as well as covering a range of new themes. Experts drawn from legal practice, academia and international organizations discuss topics of contemporary relevance, including human rights, State sovereignty and responsibility, trade and labour migration, forced migration and free movement regimes. Emerging cooperation mechanisms, the use of biometrics in migration management, and enhancing border controls in the European Union are also considered.
Compendium of International Migration Law Instruments (edited by R.Perruchoud and K. Tomolova, T.M.C. Asser Press 2007)
This volume is a companion to International Migration Law: Developing Paradigms and Key Challenges (edited by R. Cholewinski, R. Perruchoud, and E. MacDonald., T.M.C Asser Press 2007) bringing together a comprehensive compilation of universal instruments relevant to international migration. The compilation includes instruments with varying degrees of legal force - such as international treaties, customary international law, and "soft law" - covering the rights of migrants, labour standards, diplomatic and consular protection, and the movement of service providers under GATS. The core documents regulating nationality and statelessness, trafficking and smuggling, State security, detention, and forced migration are presented, in addition to relevant legal instruments from international humanitarian law and international maritime law.
Available in English, French and Spanish.
