New Book: "Protecting the Right to Leave in an Era of Externalised Migration Control" by Emilie McDonnell

Protecting the Right to Leave in an Era of Externalised Migration Control  

Emilie McDonnell

This book explores the human right to leave any country — including one’s own — in international law, and its applicability to externalised migration control. It develops a framework for interpreting the right and demonstrates how these externalisation measures violate it. Analysing the work of international and regional systems enshrining the right and examining global externalisation practices, it clearly demonstrates the radical reform required by states and international organisations to comply with this right to leave.

This book will interest lawyers in the fields of international law, human rights and refugee law as well as migration policymakers, practitioners, and officials.

Emilie McDonnell's experience in human rights and refugee issues includes roles at the Australian Human Rights Commission, Human Rights Watch and the Tasmanian Refugee Legal Service. She is an Adjunct Senior Researcher within the School of Law at the University of Tasmania, Australia.
