LAW5465
Synopsis
The unit focuses on the human rights dimensions of migration from an international and comparative perspective. The international movement of people poses one of the greatest challenges to the existing regime of international human rights law. This unit examines international human rights obligations in relation to migration and the obstacles to realising human rights in the context of global mobility. Topics include labour migration, family migration as well as irregular migration, migrant exploitation and violence against migrants. The unit covers theoretical and sociological insights related to migration and human rights, including debates on sovereignty, nationalism and social welfare.
