Details

This Research Handbook examines the complex issues faced by migrants and refugees in securing their human rights. By challenging and reformulating the crisis narrative often perpetuated by states and international organizations, it provides a cutting-edge, in-depth investigation of key themes central to the human rights implications of migration.

Adopting an intersectional, interdisciplinary and gendered approach, the Research Handbook identifies the human rights challenges faced by migrants and refugees, especially women, girls and LGBTIQ+ persons, as well as the complex questions faced by states and supranational institutions in addressing diversity and managing human mobility. It considers socio-economic, health, and environmental crises, such as climate change-induced displacement, through a critical lens to determine the impact of these issues on the lives of migrants. The Handbook includes an analysis of global and local solutions to the fragilities of migration and refugee protection regimes, including those expressed by migrants themselves. Ultimately, it argues that the ‘migration crisis’ rhetoric is inaccurate, and that states’ efforts ought to be directed at offering durable solutions to structural challenges ensuring respect of human rights for all.

The Handbook on Migration and Human Rights is an essential resource for students and academics in international relations, migration, human rights and refugee law. Policymakers, UN and regional human rights bodies, and legal practitioners will greatly benefit from its unique insights into global and local governance.
