When Humans Become Migrants - Dembour, Marie-Benedicte (Professor of Law and Anthropology, Professor of Law and Anthropology, University of Brighton)

The issue of migration presents clear challenges to international human rights courts due to its political sensitivity. This book contrasts the European and Inter-American Courts of Human Rights, showing how their rulings differ on this issue. It argues that the Inter-American Court's approach is more sympathetic to the individuals involved.
