Introduction to the Special Issue: Social Control, Housing and the Law
In this special issue on housing and social control, we explore the relationship between these two concepts through a socio-legal perspective. We investigate how law plays a role in shaping and assessing the connection between housing and social control, by, on the one hand, serving as an instrument of social control, and, on the other hand, acting as a limitation on the ability to impose social control. In addition to this dual function of the l…
Coerced into Subsistence: Deprivation of Liberty in the EU Reception and Identification Centres in Greece
In 2021, new reception centres for asylum seekers were established in Greece. These centres are remotely located, highly surveillanced and asylum seekers living there are subjected to stringent conditions, including a curfew, that obliges them to be in the centre between 8 pm. and 8 am. Such curfews are a traditional method of social control and fit a broader trend of excluding certain categories of people from public space. This article analyses…
European case law on migrants’ social and mobility rights: The need for a comparative approach in assessing ‘human rights overreach’
Social rights (right to social security and social welfare) and mobility rights (right to freedom of movement within the territory) are the only two rights in European human rights law that limit their scope of application to persons lawfully in the territory. Migrants have contested this limitation in two ways: (1) arguing for exceptions to, or for a broad interpretation of, the concept of lawful presence, and (2) arguing that such policies viol…
Deservingness in Judicial Discourse. An Analysis of the Legal Reasoning Adopted in Dutch Case Law on Irregular Migrant Families’ Access to Shelter
In September 2012, the Dutch Supreme Court upheld a judgment of the Hague Court of Appeal that the eviction from basic shelter of a mother and her minor children, who did not have legal residence in the Netherlands, was unlawful. This ruling was instigated by a radically new interpretation of the European Social Charter’s personal scope and caused a major shift in Dutch policy. This article provides a case study into the legal reasoning adopted b…
The potential and pitfalls of the vulnerability concept for human rights
In the past decade or so, vulnerability has become a fairly prominent concept in human rights law. It has evolved from being an underlying notion to an explicit concept. This column takes stock of vulnerability's relationship to, and possible influence on human rights law, assessing the concept's potential and pitfalls. It focuses on the not altogether unrelated issues of migrants’ social rights and on the role of human rights in environmental pr…
Evaluating ‘Life Steeped in Power’: Non-Domination, the Rule of Law and Spatial Restrictions for Irregular Migrants
Irregular migrants in Europe are increasingly subjected to state coercion, surveillance and spatial restrictions, such as containment, dispersal and forced transfers. Lawyers usually evaluate such practices in the light of human rights law, which only provides limited protection. For this reason, I propose an alternative normative framework to evaluate and assess coercive state practices towards irregular migrants: the concept of freedom as non-d…
The Right Not to be Dominated: The Case Law of the European Court of Human Rights on Migrants’ Destitution
The European Court of Human Rights increasingly deals with migrants’ complaints about destitution in their host state under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the prohibition of inhuman and degrading treatment). This case law has been criticized for not being consistent and/or for not providing migrants with enough protection. Based on a systematic case law search, in this article, I analyse Article 3 case law on migrants’ dest…
