Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with me! Without you, I could not have written this thesis. Moreover, I would like to thank my interpreter for having facilitated the communication between the research participants and me! I will not forget the time I spent with him and his wife as well as the two children. ThanK you for supporting me during my fieldwork, it was so much more than ‘just’ the translation of 18 interviews. Thank you for sharing your home and daily life with me! Furthermore, I would like to thanK the daughters and sons, husbands and wives, brothers and friends who helped me to get in touch with my future research participants. Additionally, I would like to thank the institutions without which it wouldn’t have been possible to get to know all of these people in Sri Lanka, namely Droit de rester in Lausanne, the Tamilischer Verein der Studierenden in Zurich, the Freiplatzaktion in Basel and IOM Sri Lanka in Colombo. A big thank you also to Yves Bowie from the Gesellschaft für bedrohte Völker (GfbV) in Switzerland – not merely for introducing me to the interpreter and to some research participants, but also for sharing your knowledge about the current situation in Sri Lanka. Thank you for everything, Yves! This thesis would not exist without the countless discussions with my friends whose opinions were essential for me. I would like to thank my friends and family for the support of this project – from the beginning to the end. Your support was priceless! A big thanK to the various academic researchers who advised me in this project – be it related to questions of translation and qualitative methods in general, to questions of migration in the context of Sri Lanka or to questions about the theoretical framework. Especially, I would like to thank Professor Etienne Piguet who supported me during the course of the research. Last but not least, I would like to thank the Fonds des donations of the University of Neuchâtel which financially supported the fieldwork of this research. LEAVING SRI LANKA AGAIN? 2 ABSTRACT Many Sri Lankan nationals live in places outside Sri Lanka, among other reasons, due to the long-standing civil war. As the conflict ended in 2009, some of them decided ‘freely’ to return to Sri Lanka. However, others were forced to return to Sri Lanka as they weren’t granted asylum anymore. In the case of Switzerland and Sri Lanka, there exists no particular research on the social phenomena of deportation and return migration. This Master’s thesis aims to fill this gap by comparing different reasons for return in relation to future migration intentions. The author reveals the importance of the idea of ‘leaving Sri Lanka again’ by conducting 25 interviews with individuals who moved from Switzerland back to Sri Lanka. Migration processes are understood as simultaneously embedded in different places and different temporal settings. By looking into the multiplicity of scales and multiplicity of temporalities, it was possible to understand how mobility is differentiated. Through an in-depth analysis of 7 narrative interviews, the author shows that through the earlier migration from Sri Lanka to Switzerland, individuals have established affiliations and relationships at the new place which persist even after the person left the country of destination. Therefore, the (translocal) social network can be an important ‘alternative’ when access through citizenship or a permit is not given in the first place. Despite the embeddedness on the national and supranational scale, many of the strategies that people apply depend on the social networK: for instance, getting sponsored by a family member in Switzerland, looking for a marriage proposal in Europe, or applying for a green card in the U.S. Nevertheless, these opportunities are often limited to intimate relationships. In addition, what seems to be a challenge linked to the attempt to access mobility through the social networK is the often-experienced uncertainty related to national regulations. Yet, translocal social networKs can be seen as a means of making use of the national and supranational rights in the ‘best’ way in order to be able to leave Sri Lanka again.

  • EU Londoners Hub
    EU Londoners Hub The Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has been clear that EU citizens living in London belong and are welcome in our great city. To make sure EU citizens and their families have all the information they need about living in London after Brexit we have created this hub. We have launched a few resource sections to give you clear and impartial information and, if required, guide you to further support and advice. This page will continue to be updated. Sign me up for EU Londoner updates Brexit: what this means for EU Londoners The UK voted to leave the European Union in June 2016. Below we have provided answers to some of the questions you may have about this decision and how Brexit impacts you. What is Brexit? Brexit is the popular term for the process of the UK leaving the EU, as a result of the referendum held on 23 June 2016. In March 2017, Prime Minister Theresa May gave official notice to the EU of the UK’s intention to leave the EU - referred to as the Article 50 notice. This was the start of a two- year negotiation process to agree the terms under which the UK would leave, and what its future relationship with the EU would be. The UK has been a member of the EU since 1973. This means that many structures, arrangements and agreements in place as part of the UK’s membership of the EU become redundant when the UK leaves the EU. New structures, arrangement and agreements need to replace these, which will come under UK law, not EU law.

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr SELECTED ASPECTS OF INTERNATIONAL AND MUNICIPAL LAW CONCERNING PASSPORTS DANIEL C. TuRAcK* Today, on our shrinking planet, the passport is playing an increasingly significant role. It is used as an instrument to frustrate travel, to prevent the individual from leaving his own country, or to preclude the bearer's ingress to some foreign territory. Despite its significance, major treatises and textbooks on international law reveal very little information con- cerning its use. The purpose of this article is to discuss some contempo- rary state and international practices concerning passports and to foster additional interest and research on the topic. WHO MAY RECEIVE A NATIONAL PASSPORT? At the present time, a nation is able to issue a passport to anyone it wishes according to its own municipal law. This prerogative has seldom been challenged. Whether a person is entitled to a passport may arise incidental to some other aspect of international concern such as a state trying to protect the bearer of its document.
