Overview

Fair Immigration Proceedings in Europe deals with international minimum standards for effective and fair immigration proceedings which apply for the region of the European Union. It is the first study to analyze systematically the impact of a wide range of relevant treaties under the UN, the Council of Europe and the European Union on the quality of national immigration proceedings. As a result, a coherent picture has come to the surface, which, despite several lacunae, gives a surprising view of the acquis of binding obligations on EU Member States in this field. Special attention is given to the greater conventions like the Refugee Convention of Geneva, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights and the EC Treaty. Because of its systematic structure, the book is readily accessible for quick consultation. It constitutes an important tool for litigation practice and legislation for civil servants, judges, attorneys and researchers. It will also be of interest to academics because of its analysis of the interaction between minimum norms and equal treatment norms when implemented in municipal law.
