The issue of migration presents clear challenges to international human rights courts due to its political sensitivity. This book contrasts the European and Inter-American Courts of Human Rights, showing how their rulings differ on this issue. It argues that the Inter-American Court's approach is more sympathetic to the individuals involved.
