Climate-related migration and its linkages to vulnerability, adaptation, and socio-economic inequality: evidence from recent examples Robert McLeman 3. `Climate-induced migration': ways forward in the face of an intrinsically equivocal concept Calum T.M.

Global Migration Governance
This article maps the global governance processes on migration and assesses whether the human rights of migrants are effectively included and mainstreamed therein. It is argued that the lack of a comprehensive framework for migration governance and the insufficient focus on the human rights dimension in migration management have led to serious human rights violations in the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers, and to a lack of oversight and …
Access to Health Care for Undocumented Migrant Children and Pregnant Women
Anti-Terrorism Measures and Refugee Law Challenges in Canada
Canada’s security policies have had an impact on refugee protection. Canadian judges use international law principles in refugee issues, and ensure constitutional human rights protection to “everyone”, including refugees and asylum-seekers. Canada has expanded the refugee definition to persons at threat of torture, according to the United Nations Convention against Torture. But, on recent security issues, Canada has had difficulty to reconcile in…
Right and access to healthcare for undocumented children
Critical Spaces in the Canadian Refugee Determination System
This paper draws its conclusions from a multidisciplinary study of the refugee determination process in Canada, the aim of which was to examine the strengths and weaknesses of the system and to explore means of improving it through an in-depth analysis of the diversity of attitudes and perceptions of different actors involved in the process. The basic hypothesis is that the legitimacy of the action of the Immigration and Refugee Board (hereafter …
Health Care Access for Refugees and Immigrants with Precarious Status
International Migration
Over the last two decades, the reinforcement of security-related migration policies has resulted in the perception of the foreigner, and especially the irregular migrant, as a category outside the circle of legality. The rights of foreigners in host countries have deteriorated due to the connection made between immigration and criminality. Restrictions imposed upon irregular migrants' basic political and civil rights have been accompanied by majo…
Forced Migration and Global Processes
Migration is at the center of much of the discussion on globalization. Migrants move across borders and thus defy state-centered traditions. Migration is often caused or influenced by aspects of global change: the transformation of the world economy with the expansion of free trade, the modification of the world balance of power and the challenge of global insecurity, the emergence of the global environment as an important political issue, and th…
Human Rights in Asylum Sharing and other Human Transfer Agreements
The article sets out the concept of a State-to-State human transfer agreement of which extradition and deportation are specialised forms. Asylum sharing agreements are other variations which the article explores in more detail. Human transfer agreements always affect at least the right to liberty and the freedom of movement, but other rights will also be at issue to some extent. The article shows how human rights obligations limit State discretio…
Interdiction at the Expense of Human Rights
Migratory pressure is heavy around the globe and the available data does not indicate any decrease in the foreseeable future. It has always been there: the highest number of immigrants to have come to Canada in one single year is still that of 1913, with more than 400,000. Today, globalization has only increased independent intercontinental migration. Fast and cheap transportation is available, as is international communication, through telephone…
Analyse multidisciplinaire du processus décisionnel de la Cisr
The refugee determination process is one of the most complex judicial functions in our societies. Decision makers involved in this process require a sufficient knowledge of the cultural, social, and political environment of the country of origin, a capacity to bear the psychological weight of difficult hearings and potentially life-threatening decisions, and an ability to deal with complex legal issues and evidence. In Canada, despite a relativel…
Mainstreaming Refugee Rights. The 1951 Refugee Convention and International Human Rights Law
The article shows how the 1951 Refugee Convention interacts as a human rights treaty with other human rights treaties, especially considering rights to seek asylum in African and Inter-American regional instruments and non-discrimination rights in the UN Covenants. The article shows that considerable interaction has developed between some rights, such as the expulsion and non-refoulement rights under the 1951 Refugee Convention and the protection…
The Law of Quebec's Secession
The legal issues arising out of Quebec’s accession to sovereignty are to be seen in international law and in domestic law - that is, in both the relations between Quebec and Canada and the relations between Quebec and the rest of the world. Quebec’s accession to sovereignty may attract the attention of the American government, either to protect its own interests or because it will be called to intervene unofficially or officially by one or both p…
Temporary Protection, Continuing Insecurity
The system of temporary protection set out in accordance with the conclusions of the Executive Committee of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (Excom) offers the necessary guarantees for the protection of the refugee under such a system. However, regimes of temporary protection recently established in a number of states (for example Germany and the United States) do not respect the conclusions of Excom nor the Convention Relating t…
Le migrant dans l'ordre juridique canadien
Au Canada, le traitement des étrangers par le droit est intimement lié au caractère de société d'immigration du pays. Deux traits le définissent : d'une part, la forte protection du territoire et du marché du travail canadien parla mise en œuvre de politiques de sélection des immigrants et de contrôle des étrangers aux frontières ; d'autre part, la protection constitutionnelle des droits et libertés de tous, y compris des étrangers, et l'assimila…
Une coopération nord-américaine contre les réfugiés
Le Canada et les Etats-Unis prévoient de signer après les présidentielles américaines, soit sans doute au printemps 1997, une «Entente pour la coopération en matière d'examen des revendications du statut de réfugié présentées par des ressortissants de pays tiers». Cet accord devrait reprendre, en l'adaptant, le modèle de la convention de Dublin du 15 juin 1990 et des articles 29 à 38 de la convention d'application de l'accord de Schengen du 19 ju…
