Short description:
This companion volume to The International Law of Human Trafficking presents the first-ever comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the international law of migrant smuggling.
Long description:
Whether forced into relocation by fear of persecution, civil war, or humanitarian crisis, or pulled toward the prospect of better economic opportunities, more people are on the move than ever before. Opportunities for lawful entry into preferred destinations are decreasing rapidly, creating demand that is increasingly being met by migrant smugglers. This companion volume to the award-winning The International Law of Human Trafficking presents the first-ever comprehensive, in-depth analysis into the subject. The authors call on their experience of working with the UN to chart the development of new international laws and to link these specialist rules to other relevant areas of international law, including law of the sea, human rights law, and international refugee law. Through this analysis, the authors explain the major legal obligations of States with respect to migrant smuggling, including those related to criminalization, interdiction and rescue at sea, protection, prevention, detention, and return.
'In her award-winning book, The International Law of Human Trafficking, Anne Gallagher created an invaluable reference for policy makers, practitioners and all those working to end impunity for traffickers and secure justice for victims. This volume, The International Law of Migrant Smuggling, is a fitting and timely successor. With precision, clarity and compassion, Gallagher and her coauthor untangle the complex and often misunderstood web of rights, obligations and responsibilities that govern the facilitated movement of irregular migrants across borders. In so doing they make abundantly clear what States must, may, and may not do when responding to migrant smuggling. Looking ahead, there can be little doubt that migrant smuggling will continue to present a great challenge to the international community. I am confident that this book will make a substantial contribution to advancing constructive dialogue on this difficult, controversial issue.' William L. Swing, Director General of the International Organization for Migration
