‘This book, offers an outstanding collection of learned essays from over thirty expert contributors - including the editors - from top universities, government bodies and institutions worldwide. . . In this volume of almost 700 pages, there is much food for thought for the researcher and an almost endless supply of valuable references in the copious footnoting throughout. What a time saver! Additionally, there’s a detailed index of almost twenty-three pages at the back. From graduate students, to seasoned international practitioners, anyone involved in the often extremely difficult human rights issues generated by migration will appreciate the book’s practical as well as scholarly approach to this sensitive, diverse and increasingly complex area of law. The book therefore makes an important contribution to current literature on the subject.’
