An international workshop: Externalisation of Migration Controls and Accountability Challenges in International Law

States have progressively ‘externalised’ migration controls through a number of practices and have been reluctant to recognise that human rights violations committed in the context of these extraterritorial practices give rise to accountability, on the view that fundamental rights only apply territorially.

This workshop aims to address the normative question whether, and to what extent, States and organizations, like the European Union, have “extraterritorial” obligations towards migrants who have not yet reached their territory, e.g., migrants at sea, migrants in detention centers abroad, or migrants applying for a visa outside the territory.

The programme can be found under 'Downloads', in the left column.
