Download or read book Access to Asylum written by Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there still a right to seek asylum in a globalised world? Migration control has increasingly moved to the high seas or the territory of transit and origin countries, and is now commonly outsourced to private actors. Under threat of financial penalties airlines today reject any passenger not in possession of a valid visa, and private contractors are used to run detention centres and man border crossings. In this volume Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen examines the impact of these new practices for refugees' access to asylum. A systematic analysis is provided of the reach and limits of international refugee law when migration control is carried out extraterritorially or by non-state actors. State practice from around the globe and case law from all the major human rights institutions is discussed. The arguments are further linked to wider debates in human rights, general international law and political science.
Download or read book Islands of Sovereignty written by Jeffrey S. Kahn and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Islands of Sovereignty, anthropologist and legal scholar Jeffrey S. Kahn offers a new interpretation of the transformation of US borders during the late twentieth century and its implications for our understanding of the nation-state as a legal and political form. Kahn takes us on a voyage into the immigration tribunals of South Florida, the Coast Guard vessels patrolling the northern Caribbean, and the camps of Guantánamo Bay—once the world’s largest US-operated migrant detention facility—to explore how litigation concerning the fate of Haitian asylum seekers gave birth to a novel paradigm of offshore oceanic migration policing. Combining ethnography—in Haiti, at Guantánamo, and alongside US migration patrols in the Caribbean—with in-depth archival research, Kahn expounds a nuanced theory of liberal empire’s dynamic tensions and its racialized geographies of securitization. An innovative historical anthropology of the modern legal imagination, Islands of Sovereignty forces us to reconsider the significance of the rise of the current US immigration border and its relation to broader shifts in the legal infrastructure of contemporary nation-states across the globe.

Book excerpt: The Refugee Act of 1980 is the first act in the history of US immigration law to purport to implement a policy and to create a mechanism, to deal comprehensively with alien refugees and applicants for political asylum. This paper by the Co-chairperson of the Asylum and Refugee Committee of the American Lawyers' Association discusses the major changes from previous law: e.g. repeal of former geographical and ideological discrimination, adoption of universal United Nations definition of refugee, establishment of permanent and systematic refugee admission and resettlement assistance programme. The status of refugees and of political asylum seekers (asylees) is defined, and the application for asylum and for withholding of deportation (section 243(h) of the INA) explained. The paper contains copious footnotes with references to juridical interpretations of the provisions of the Act in specific cases.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few issues on the American political agenda are more complex or divisive than immigration. There is no shortage of problems with current policies and practices, from the difficulties and delays that confront many legal immigrants to the large number of illegal immigrants living in the country. Moreover, few issues touch as many areas of U.S. domestic life and foreign policy. Immigration is a matter of homeland security and international competitiveness, as well as a deeply human issue central to the lives of millions of individuals and families. It cuts to the heart of questions of citizenship and American identity and plays a large role in shaping both America's reality and its image in the world. Immigration's emergence as a foreign policy issue coincides with the increasing reach of globalization. Not only must countries today compete to attract and retain talented people from around the world, but the view of the United States as a place of unparalleled openness and opportunity is also crucial to the maintenance of American leadership. There is a consensus that current policy is not serving the United States well on any of these fronts. Yet agreement on reform has proved elusive. The goal of the Independent Task Force on U.S. Immigration Policy was to examine this complex issue and craft a nuanced strategy for reforming immigration policies and practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on current issues arising from the implementation of the Refugee Act of 1980. Arguing that the purpose of the Act has been frustrated by the dominant considerations of foreign policy objectives, the authors find that the system gives wide discretionary power to adjudicators who are said to be poorly educated for their work or have been recruited from within the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) with an 'anti-alien bias' which lends itself to persuasion from the State Department. More specifically, this ideological and geographical bias in asylum adjudications is made explicit in the inhumane deterrence measures of interdiction and detention programmes which have been devised to confront such situations as the arrivals of Haitians and Central Americans. In reviewing the Act, the paper provides an account of its legislative history together with a description of how the Act was designed to work, paying special attention to overseas admissions provisions concerning procedures and criteria relative to asylum and non-refoulement. Actual practices with jurisprudential influences are reviewed to reveal how the administration of the Act has developed through the decade. A key feature of the administration of the Act is said to be the failure to decide upon a final rule governing asylum adjudications. Following this general review of the Act and its implementation, the specific case of the Haitian Interdiction Program is discussed as an issue of access to protection. Similarly, detention measures are reviewed and discussed in terms of detention policy and in terms of regulations mandating employment authorization. As a result of these considerations, the authors offer fifteen recommendations for changes to the Act and its implementation. These include: reduction of arbitrariness and improper political influence in admissions decisions; improved confidentiality; improvements in the quality of adjudicators and judges with compulsory instruction in the law and history of human rights and refugees; greater recruitment from outside the INS; discontinuance of the State Department's practice of providing opinions on individual asylum cases; free legal counsel for indigent asylum applicants; improvements in processing refugee claims abroad; discontinuance of deterrent measures, especially the Haitian Interdiction Program; qualifications of the detention of asylum seekers, with improvements in detention facilities; incorporation of international standards into domestic law concerning refugees and deportation; establishment of a formal safe haven policy and a policy of humanitarian admissions; establishment of a new immigration admissions programme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Asylum at a Crossroads: Activism, Expert Testimony, and Refugee Rights examines the emerging trend of requests for expert opinions in asylum hearings or refugee status determinations. This is the first book to explore the role of court-based expertise in relation to African asylum cases and the first to establish a rigorous analytical framework for interpreting the effects of this new reliance on expert testimony. Over the past two decades, courts in Western countries and beyond have begun demanding expert reports tailored to the experience of the individual claimant. As courts increasingly draw upon such testimony in their deliberations, expertise in matters of asylum and refugee status is emerging as an academic area with its own standards, protocols, and guidelines. This deeply thoughtful book explores these developments and their effects on both asylum seekers and the experts whose influence may determine their fate. Contributors: Iris Berger, Carol Bohmer, John Campbell, Katherine Luongo, E. Ann McDougall, Karen Musalo, Tricia Redeker Hepner, Amy Shuman, Joanna T. Tague, Meredith Terretta, and Charlotte Walker-Said.
