Additional text

All of the contributions in Human Rights and Immigration participate in a critical questioning of the power of human rights law in setting limits to state sovereign discretion and allocating responsibility for human well-being in migration contexts (p 11). It will undoubtedly appeal international lawyers, be they specialised in human right law or more broadly interested in migration issues.
