New volume on international migration law


This volume, International Migration Law: Developing Paradigms and Key Challenges, edited by Ryszard Cholewinski, Richard Perruchoud and myself, has just been published by Asser Press, and was launched last Thursday at the Georgetown University Law Center.

The volume looks to provide a comprehensive overview of the "field" of international migration law, developing some key themes identified in a 2003 collection edited by Chetail and Aleinikoff, entitled Migration and International Legal Norms, and also indentifying some areas of emerging significance. It consists in six broad sections: state sovereignty and responsibility (including chapters on migration-related aspects of terrorism legislation, detention, and multiple nationality); trade and labour migration (with contributions on, amongst others, GATS Mode 4 and remittances); forced migration (looking at the law relating to refugees and internally displaced persons, and the compensation claims tribunals); human rights (with chapters on migrant workers, migrant women, trafficking and statelessness); regional free movement regimes (in Europe, Africa, South America and the Caribbean); and emerging issues (informal cooperation mechanisms, biometrics and the new EU Borders Code). It brings together works both by established academics, practitioners and younger scholars who have already made a contribution in their respective fields. It will, we hope, be both accessible to students and non-lawyers alike, whilst also being substantial enough to be of use to academics and practitioners already expert in their fields.

Available now in all good bookshops! Well, on Amazon, anyway...

There are persons in international politics and other fields that run for a a Nobel Prize.I wish that today there are great problems for the War. The President Obama is in a hard position and i'm with Mr Marco Pizzorno, an expert of Armed Conflict Law , to enlarge the diffussion of knowledge to the people in war scenes ,to assure the safety and the rights to All. I support really Marco Pizzorno for His Great action for the diffusion of the Peace "Knowledge" and i think that it's a really good idea to candidate Marco Pizzorno to the Nobel Prize for Peace. Mr Marco Pizzorno is a a new sign for the Peace for All World.
