Immigration Detention in the European Union

More about the book

The book provides a detailed comparative analysis of immigration detention systems in EU member states, focusing on changes since the "refugee crisis." It applies an international human rights law framework to evaluate how EU legislation has influenced domestic practices, often at the expense of fundamental rights. The text highlights the evolution of policies, revealing a trend toward increased restrictions despite the crisis's decline. Organized by geographic sections, it examines variations in detention practices, grounds for detention, and conditions, making it a valuable resource for academics and practitioners addressing human rights in migration.
