È aperta la Call for papers per il volume Migration Issues before International Courts and Tribunals a cura di Giovanni Carlo Bruno del CNR IRISS, di Fulvio Maria Palombino dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli ‘Federico II’ e di Adriana Di Stefano dell’Università di Catania.

La collaborazione del CNR IRISS con il Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli ‘Federico II’ nelle ricerche giuridiche in materia di Migrazioni e Sviluppo, ha già portato alla pubblicazione dei seguenti volumi:

1. Migration and Development: Some Reflections on Current Legal Questions, Rome, 2016 (open access);
2. Migration and the Environment: Some Reflections on Current Legal Issues and Possible Ways Forward, Rome 2017 (open access)

The call for papers aims to offer an opportunity for experts, scholars and policy makers, for a critical review of the practice of international Courts and Tribunals on migration issues.

The volume is intended to analyze in detail the case law of international Courts and Tribunals on questions connected to migration and to migrants and to explore their contribution to the application and the development of legal rules on human migration. Its main goals include the dissemination of the relevant judicial practice; the investigation of the possibility for a wider application of international rules and standards on migration issues; the assessment of the extent to which international judges have played or could play a law-making role in the field of international migration law.

Contributions can cover, inter alia, the following areas:

• The application of international (universal and regional) legal rules by a specific international Court and/or Tribunal;
• Consistency and cross-references in the case law of international Courts and Tribunals on migration issues;
• Main differences in the approaches of Courts and Tribunals to migration issues;
• The relationship between the case law of international Courts and Tribunals and Human Rights Supervisory Bodies on migration issues;
• The relationship between the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice on migration issues;
• Protection of specific groups on migration issues before international Courts or Tribunals;
• Gender perspectives in the application of existing international rules and standards of refugee law by international Courts and Tribunals;
• Judicial approaches to conflicts between international migration law and other norms of both international human rights law and other fields of international law.
