Reports/books & journal articles:
Beyond Borders: The Human Rights of Non-Citizens at Home and Abroad (Cambridge University Press, Aug. 2021) [open access]
- "States have long denied basic rights to non-citizens within their borders, and international law imposes only limited duties on states with respect to those fleeing persecution. But even the limited rights previously enjoyed by non-citizens are eroding in the face of rising nationalism, populism, xenophobia, and racism. Beyond Borders explores what obligations we owe to those outside our political community."
"Killing asylum softly or leaving no one behind? The New York declaration and global compacts in a divided world," Globalizations, Latest Articles, 16 Sept. 2021 [open access]
Migration in the Time of COVID-19: Comparative Law and Policy Responses (Frontiers in Human Dynamics, 2021) [open access]
- "This collection offers a comparative study of law and policy around human mobility in the face of the pandemic. Several papers in this collection examine the impact of the pandemic on EU free movement law. Others assess destination states’ responses to COVID-19 from the perspective of migration law and policy, and consider how they build upon prior exclusionary regimes, offering suggestions for reform of domestic laws in the wake of the pandemic." The collection is now available as an E-Book.
- Note: A launch event will take place 8 October 2021.

Global Strategic Litigation Council for Refugee Rights [access]

With a founding membership of twenty-eight groups and individuals drawn from every world region, the Council will serve as a hub for activists seeking to use strategic litigation and related legal advocacy to advance the protection of refugee rights and the consistent and progressive development of international law worldwide. The Council is the first of its kind to undertake coordinated transnational legal advocacy on the rights of refugees or other migrants." Follow link for concept note and opportunity to join.
