Beyond Borders: The Human Rights of Non-Citizens at Home and Abroad
States have long denied basic rights to non-citizens within their borders, and international law imposes only limited duties on states with respect to those fleeing persecution. But even the limited rights previously enjoyed by non-citizens are eroding in the face of rising nationalism, populism, xenophobia, and racism. Beyond Borders explores what obligations we owe to those outside our political community. Drawing on contributions from a broad …

Gendered aspects of distress migration: Taking note of Rohingya voices
A qualitative study conducted among Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh provides empirical confirmation of two types of adverse consequence that frequently occur following distress migration: harsh and exclusionary host state policies, and exacerbation of power inequities (and related abuse) within the refugee community. This article describes research that explored the circumstances of female Rohingya refugees living in the Cox’s Bazar refugee camps…
A Better Future: The Role of Higher Education for Displaced and Marginalised People
Policy makers, advocates and scholars have long concentrated on the importance of equal access to primary and secondary education as a foundation for a democratic and just society. Despite the growing importance of higher and specialist education in an increasingly technological and skill-focused global market, tertiary education has attracted much less attention. And yet, universities and colleges are epicentres of egregious disparities in acces…
Toleration deficits: The perilous state of refugee protection today
The escalation of contemporary distress migration has coincided with an intensification of intolerance, xenophobia and nativism precipitating enormous human suffering among the migrant and refugee community. This chapter examines some instances of the growing exclusionary trend in current refugee and migration policy and explores alternative strategic opportunities to enforce the human rights and humanitarian entitlements for distress migrants es…
Research Handbook on Child Migration
Forced migration, particularly as it applies to children, tends to be viewed as a fraught and difficult experience. As a result, the vulnerability of young forced migrants has tended to dominate the literature, especially within quantitative studies. Concerns abound in relation to the ability of refugees to rebuild their lives and to integrate into new countries, particularly if they come from places that are considered very different from their …
Dilemmas in Rescue and Reintegration: A critical assessment of India’s policies for children trafficked for labour exploitation
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the Indian government’s efforts to combat pervasive child trafficking for labour exploitation through rescue and reintegration of affected children. It evaluates the extensive policy and legal frameworks against on-the-ground realities in the states of Bihar and Rajasthan, using empirical findings from a qualitative study carried out by the FXB Center for Health & Human Rights at Harvard University.…
Sexual abuse and exploitation of unaccompanied migrant children in Greece: Identifying risk factors and gaps in services during the European migration crisis
Human Mobility and the Longue Durée: The Prehistory of Global Migration Law
The long history of human migration sets the stage for a probing engagement with current migration law and the challenges of bringing it into alignment with contemporary needs and rights. If very large scale movements of people are a constant element of life on earth, should we reconsider the migration panic that has gripped political leaders and their publics, and should we reassess the responses that are being advanced? Instead of crisis should…

Beyond the education silo? Tackling adolescent secondary education in rural India
In this paper we examine the factors contributing to gender inequality in secondary schooling in India by critically reviewing the government’s secondary education policy. Drawing on the findings of a study in rural Gujarat, we couple this analysis with an examination of the gendered dynamics that restrict girls’ ability to fully benefit from the education infrastructure and initiatives that do exist, using Connell’s Gender and Power framework. W…
Moving Children: Lacunae in Contemporary Human Rights Protections for Migrant Children and Adolescents
This article addresses a contemporary demographic phenomenon, the growing presence of young migrant children and adolescents, and outlines the perils that this population faces. What some experts refer to as an “asylum-migration nexus,” or a blurring of legal categories within contemporary migration, this varied and multifaceted flow includes asylum seekers, exploited unaccompanied children, job seekers, education or opportunity seekers, and adol…
The Child—What Sort of Human?
The rights of the child [are] the first rights of citizenship . —Herbert Hoover's “Children's Charter” The assumption that children are not citizens is deeply rooted in our civic traditions . —Bill Bell, “Are Children Citizens?” The rubbish dump is close to where they live, but there is little money to be made there and it involves plenty of risks. The rats, the filth and the smell are all deeply unappealing; the risk of injury and infections fro…

Enforcing the Human Rights of Citizens and Non-Citizens in the Era of Maastricht: Some Reflections on the Importance of States
This article explores the impact of globalization in the context of human rights enforcement within the European Union. It argues that despite the growing impact of transnational forces and supranational institutions, national mechanisms are still crucial in enforcing international obligations, so that states remain critical players rather than diminishing entities. The article considers the development of human rights as a fundamental norm withi…
Embodied Rights: Gender Persecution, State Sovereignty, and Refugees
This article explores the conflict and interaction between human rights and state sovereignty in asylum cases based on gender persecution. International refugees theoretically can invoke their universal human rights to gain asylum from the oppressive or restrictive behavior of sovereign states. If however such claims are met by relativization of the content of protected rights in line with practices prevailing in different states the asylum syste…
