The European Union Returns Directive and Its Compatibility with International Human Rights Law - Analysis of Return Decision, Entry Ban, Detention, and Removal

The book assesses the EU Returns Directive against international human rights norms and standards. Izabella Majcher explores protection gaps in the EU return policy and highlights how the provisions of the Directive should be implemented in line with member states' human rights obligations. Informed by this assessment, the book discusses draft amendments to the Directive, proposed by the European Commission in September 2018.
