Human Rights Challenges to European Migration Policy: The REMAP Study

by Jürgen Bast, Frederik von Harbou, Janna Wessels

Overview

The EU has become a powerful migration policy actor. As a result, European migration policy is increasingly coming into conflict with its obligation to protect human rights. This open access volume names the most urgent challenges, develops the relevant legal standards and makes proposals for reform. Central problem areas included are:

-access to asylum in the EU
-freedom of movement for migrants
-legal procedural guarantees
-the ban on discrimination based on residence status
-respect for social and family ties in migration control measures
-the guarantee of minimum social rights for irregular migrants, and
-the public and civil society infrastructure to defend human rights.
