The chapters address subjects ranging from the Global Compact for Migration, migration laws, fundamental human rights discourse and principles, colonial violence, environmental migrants, and internal displacement. The book additionally delves into the interplay between such notions as the role of women in migration trends, the Kafala System, unaccompanied minors, and family dynamics. Along with tackling border practices, transnational governance, return migration, and complementary protection, the chapters featured in this volume discuss the notions of belonging, stigma, discrimination, and racism. v Acknowledgments This edited collection would not have been possible without the brilliant insights from its contributing authors, and their incomparable experience and grasp of the human spirit. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Stephen McGlinchey and Bill Kakenmaster at E-International Relations, and the wider E-IR Team. Without your support and platform, this book would not have materialized. --- Jasmin Lilian Diab is an Assistant Professor of Migration Studies at the Lebanese American University (LAU)’s Department of Social Sciences.

Christopher Weeramantry, a former ICJ judge and president of the International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms (IALANA), says more than a decade has passed since the Court unanimously declared that nuclear weapons have the "potential to destroy all civilisation and the entire ecosystem of the planet."

  • 1 the WORLD COURT PROJECT: HISTORY and CONSEQUENCES
    THE WORLD COURT PROJECT: HISTORY and CONSEQUENCES by Kate Dewes and Robert Green Published in Canadian Foreign Policy Journal, Volume 7, Number 1, Fall 1999 The forces ranged against the view of illegality are truly colossal. However collisions with the colossal have not deterred the law on its upward course towards the concept of the rule of law. It has not flinched from the task of imposing constraints upon physical power when legal principle so demands. It has been by a determined stand against forces that seemed colossal or irresistible that the rule of law has been won. Judge Christopher Weeramantry, Dissenting Opinion, 1996. INTRODUCTION On 21 October 1999, a court case in Greenock, Scotland ended in a sensational outcome which will have major repercussions for the struggle to rid the world of nuclear weapons. Three women - Angie Zelter, Ulla Roder, and Ellen Moxley of the international Trident Ploughshares 2000 non-violent direct action campaign - were on trial before a jury for damaging some laboratory equipment used for operational support of the British Trident nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine force. Their defence was that they had been compelled to act in order to prevent a crime of potential genocide. The judge accepted their argument that deployment of Trident is illegal, and that they were upholding the Nuremberg Charter - and she instructed the jury to acquit them. The women had based their defence on a 1996 Advisory Opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), known as the World Court. The acquittal provoked an uproar in the UK, reigniting the anti-nuclear movement as the embarrassed Blair government 1 appealed against it in an attempt to have it overturned by the highest court in Scotland sometime during 2000 – but giving unprecedented publicity to this audacious challenge to the legality of Britain’s so-called “nuclear deterrent”.

  • Pushbacks and Lack of Accountability at the Greek-Turkish Borders Roberto Cortinovis No
    Pushbacks and lack of accountability at the Greek-Turkish borders Roberto Cortinovis No. 2021-01, February 2021 Abstract Amid escalating geopolitical tension with Turkey, in March 2020 the Greek authorities announced a hardline approach towards asylum seekers attempting to cross its land and sea borders with Turkey. The framing of cross-border movements as a ‘threat’ to the country’s national security served to justify a derogation from the human rights standards and procedural guarantees that are granted to people seeking protection under EU law. Since then, a pattern of systematic pushbacks at the border and informal returns represents the most visible expression of this hardening of border policies at the EU’s south-eastern borders. This paper analyses the negative impact of this heavily securitised approach on asylum seekers’ fundamental rights, in particular its implications for the right to asylum that underpins the Common European Asylum System (CEAS). The paper also reflects on the limits and ambiguities that have characterised the EU’s response to the situation at the Greek-Turkish borders, focusing on the role and responsibilities of the Frontex Agency. It underlines the need for the EU to remedy the shortcomings in existing accountability mechanisms, to guarantee effective remedies for victims of fundamental rights violations at the border. Establishing a sustainable human- rights-compliant management of migration in the eastern Mediterranean also requires that the EU move away from its focus on containing and restricting asylum seekers’ mobility – a focus that has characterised cooperation on migration and asylum with Turkey within the framework of the 2016 EU-Turkey Statement.
