Course Description
It is well known that international law is fundamental to guide States’ actions on issues like migration. But why and how? Where does International Migration Law (IML) come from? What does it cover beyond the human rights of migrants? In practice, how does IML apply at the national level?
Find answers to these questions and more in the EMM2.0 e-course on International Migration Law. This self-paced e-learning module explores how International Migration Law is fundamental to regulate and inform migration governance and management. The module clarifies that IML is the result of what States have agreed to be legal principles and rules that regulate how various aspects of migration should be managed, including how migrants should be treated. The module outlines the branches of international law that compose IML and provides an overview of the kinds of mechanisms put in place at the global and regional levels for monitoring and accountability. The module also explores the binding and non-binding components of IML and outlines how they both inform legislation and policymaking at the national level.
