Non-Exhaustive Overview of European Government Measures Impacting Undocumented Migrants Taken in the Context of COVID-19
Non-exhaustive overview of European government measures impacting undocumented migrants taken in the context of COVID-19 March-August 2020 This document provides an overview of measures adopted by EU member states and some countries outside the EU in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and foreseen economic downturn, about which PICUM has been informed by its members or has learned of through regular media monitoring.1 Additional information and analysis are provided on regularisation measures taken in Italy and Portugal. Given the limitations of time and capacity, our intention is not to provide an exhaustive presentation, but rather to give a useful summary of measures broadly helpful to people who are undocumented, or who are documented but with insecure status, whatever may have been the authorities’ motivations for their implementation. Please contact [email protected] if you have additional information about any of these measures, or wish to propose a correction. 1 We are grateful to all PICUM members who commented on earlier drafts of this document, and to PICUM trainees Raquel Gomez Lopez and Thomas MacPherson who were instrumental in gathering relevant information and preparing this summary. 1 Contents FOR UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS . .3 1.

A Bismarckian Moment: Charkaoui and Bill C-3 Craig Forcese and Lorne Waldman* I. INTRODUCTION The German statesman Otto von Bismarck once said that “[i]f you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made.”1 The recent enactment of Bill C-32 — the government’s response to the Supreme Court’s February 2007 decision in Charkaoui v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration)3 — can best be described as a “Bismarckian moment”. An effort to remedy the core defects of the prior immigration security certificate regime, the new law cobbles together a potentially half-hearted “special advocate” regime and converts immigration law into a de facto system of indefinite limits on liberty for foreigners. The new system will generate an inevitable series of new constitutional challenges, some of which may succeed at the Supreme Court unless the deficiencies of Bill C-3 are cured by careful innovation at the Federal Court level. -
Words Matter: Peer Review As a Failing Safeguard by Tom Quiggin
PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 7, Issue 2 Words Matter: Peer Review as a Failing Safeguard by Tom Quiggin Abstract [1] Peer review is intended to support the quality and standards of academic work. The peer review process has been questioned recently in a number of different arenas. Source reliability and information credibility can be a problem when an academic scholar or an academic product steps into the public realm through a court case. In these circumstances, it is not just the credibility of the academic community that is being tested: lives and liberty can be at stake. Peer-reviewed article must provide a basic standard of trustworthiness. At a minimum, the peer review process, though a fact checking process, should be able to assure the reader that the sources of the information are reliable and the information provided is credible. Testing Reliability Some years ago, information from a peer-reviewed journal paper was rejected by the Federal Court of Canada in a terrorism-related court case. The judgement of the court identified that a component of the paper depended on sources of questionable reliability.[2] Additionally, the judge raised concerns about other information entered into court in the same case which had a patina of academic credibility.[3] The case is significant, in that the judge also determined that the accused in question had spent six and a half years in detention on a national security certificate without ever actually being a threat.[4] Consider the following sentences from an article used in this court case that was earlier published in a peer-reviewed journal.[5] “The terrorists who attacked the London transport system in July 2005 [6] were subsequently found to have been in possession of a large cache of illicit identity documents. -
Deportation As a Crime of International Law
Is There any Blood on my Hands? Deportation as a Crime of International Law VINCENT CHETAIL∗ Abstract The present article revisits international criminal law as a tool for sanctioning the most patent abuses against migrants. Although deportation is traditionally considered as an attribute of the state inherent to its territorial sovereignty, this prerogative may degenerate into an international crime. The prohibition of deportation has been a well-established feature of international criminal law since the Nuremberg trials following the Second World War. This prohibition has been further refined over the past 15 years by an extensive jurisprudence of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Court. Against such a background, this article demonstrates that, in some circumstances, deport- ation may amount to a war crime, a crime against humanity or even a crime of genocide, depending on the factual elements of the case and the specific requirements of the relevant crime. This article accordingly reviews the constitutive elements of each crime and transposes them into the context of migration control. It highlights in turn that, although its potential has been neglected by scholars and practitioners, international criminal law has an important role to play for domesticating the state’s prerogative of deportation and infusing the rule of law into the field of migration. The article concludes that there are reasonable grounds for asserting that a crime against humanity would have been committed in the Dominican Republic and Australia with regard to their deportation policy. Key words crime against humanity; deportation; genocide; migration 1. -
