The course will examine the phenomenon of human movement, including both forced and voluntary migration, and the legal frameworks that govern the rights of various categories of migrants. The focus will be on the specific policies which states put in place to advance and to hinder the enjoyment by migrants of their rights. The course will explore the general category of “migrant” and its various sub-categories including the internally displaced, labour migrants, refugees and victims of human trafficking. The legal tools available to assist and to protect the vulnerable groups will be considered. The obligations of states to migrants will be the primary focus of the course, but the policies and practices of international organizations and supranational bodies with respect to migration will also be discussed. At the start we will look at the concept of citizenship and the situation of a ‘stateless person’ and its impact upon rights. We will examine the phenomenon of migration including both its causes and effects. We will consider forced migration covering themes such as human trafficking, refugee protection and voluntary migration as discussing rights of migrant workers and long-term residents.
