This volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the source and scope of international law on migration. It explores international norms on state authority to regulate migration, freedom of movement, forced migration, human rights, family unification, trafficking and smuggling of migrants, national security, rescue at sea, health, development, integration, and nationality. Migration and International Legal Norms shows that, despite the absence of a comprehensive legal instrument governing international migration, there is a wide range of legal norms relevant to migration embodied in multilateral treaties and conventions, regional agreements, and customary international law. It also identifies some significant gaps in international law, recommending areas for further cooperative efforts. This volume will be of interest to scholars and policy-makers, and to all those interested in how the community of nations is responding to the increasingly significant phenomenon of international migration.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'The enormous practical, legal and theoretical significance of cross-national migration points, in short, to a need for more sustained academic attention to the subject among international law scholars. The newly published Migration and International Legal Norms represents a valuable contribution to the literature in this context ... the volume's purpose ... is to provide 'a concise guide to international legal norms and standards in the field of migration and it fulfills this purpose admirably. It might best be described as a comprehensive reference handbook on the international law of migration in its various dimensions. There is no other resource in the field that is as thorough or as authoritative.' Linda Bosniak, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, School of Law, Camden
