Briefings
A new analysis in the International Journal of Migration and Border Studies argues that international human rights law protects migrants only after they enter a state's jurisdiction, leaving a critical gap in recognizing the right to enter another country. This finding suggests the current legal framework is incomplete regarding border entry rights. The study highlights a specific legal inconsistency where protection ends at the border line, creating uncertainty for migrants attempting to cross international boundaries.
Key points
- International human rights law protects migrants once they are within a state's jurisdiction but stops short of recognizing the right to enter another country.
- The analysis concludes that this gap makes the current system legally incomplete for border entry scenarios.
Context and limitations
