The focus of this report is on one of the measures developed by the western European States: the notion variably called "country of first asylum", "safe third country" or "host third country". The London Resolution on "a harmonised approach to questions concerning host third countries" offers, inter alia, the first attempt by European Union Ministers to define what constitutes a so-called host third country. The criteria, however, are very wide in as much as substantially they only require that in those countries the life or freedom of the asylum seekers must not be threatened and that the country is not violating the principle of non-refoulement nor the prohibition of exposure to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment. In terms of formal requirements, the Resolution only requires that the asylum seekers has had the opportunity to make contact with that country's authorities in order to seek their protection or there is clear evidence of his/her admissibility to a third country.

With 173 member states and more than 400 field offices, the IOM—the new ‘UN migration agency’—plays a key role in migration governance. The contributors in this volume provide an in-depth and comprehensive insight into the IOM, its transformation, current structure and projects, as well as its capacity, self-understanding and political agenda.

The Mediterranean refugee crisis presents states across Europe with a common security challenge: how to intervene responsibly in mitigation and support. This book seeks to advance the UN concept of ‘human security’ in showing how a human security approach to the crisis can effectively conceptualize and respond to the intricacies of the challenges faced. It argues for a politics of solidarity in proffering integrated solutions that call out the failure of top-down, statist security measures. Leading international authors from a range of disciplines document key dimensions of the crisis, including: the legal mechanisms enabling or blocking asylum; the biopolitical systems for managing displaced peoples; and the multiple, overlapping historical precedents of today’s challenges.

"Canada's cooperation with the United States of America (U.S.) on matters relating to people claiming refugee protection has been a subject of significant debate over the past several decades. This paper provides an overview of the Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America for cooperation in the examination of refugee status claims from nationals of third countries, commonly referred to as the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA). It examines the fundamental aspects of the STCA, the historical and international context of the safe third country concept, and the legal challenges that the STCA has faced since its implementation. It also considers potential changes to the agreement in light of recent increases in irregular border crossings, the temporary border closure during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a July 2020 decision by the Federal Court of Canada that found the STCA to be unconstitutional"--Introduction, page 1.

This book examines the impact and effects of refugee externalisation policies in two regions: Australia’s border control practices in Southeast Asia and the Pacific and the activities of the European Union and its member states in North Africa. The book assesses the underlying motivations, processes, policy frameworks and human rights violations of refugee externalisation practices. Case studies illuminate the funding, institutional partnerships, geopolitical impacts, financial costs and the human price of refugee externalisation. It provides the first truly comparative analysis of asylum externalisation and explores maritime interdiction, extraterritorial process, containment and third-country interception, and communication campaigns in Southeast Asia and the Middle East/North Africa. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of refugee and asylum studies, law, politics and the arts, legal practitioners, non-governmental organisations and policymakers grappling with the issues of detention, refugee externalisation practices and the growing need to find safety for the world’s most vulnerable.

Europe is currently experiencing a migration crisis, demonstrated by millions of displaced people unseen since World War II. This book examines the interface between extraterritorial border and migration controls taken by EU member states, and the rights asylum seekers acquire from EU law.Control measures such as the enforcement of visas, fines on carriers transporting unsatisfactorily documented migrants, and interception at sea are investigated in detail in an effort to assess the impact these measures have on access to asylum in the EU. The book also explores the rights recognisedby the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights to persons in need of international protection, inclusive of the principle of non-removal to a place of persecution, the prohibition of ill-treatment, the right to asylum, and the right to effective judicial protection.The fundamental focus of the book is the relationship between the aforementioned border and migration controls and the rights of asylum seekers, and importantly, how these rights limit the nature of such control measures and the ways in which they are implemented. The ultimate goal of the book is toconclude whether the current series of extraterritorial mechanisms or pre-entry vetting is compatible in EU law with the rights of refugees and forced migrants.
