| Summary: | "Non-citizens include asylum seekers, rejected asylum seekers, immigrants, non-immigrants, migrant workers, refugees, stateless persons, and trafficked persons. This book argues that regardless of their citizenship status, non-citizens should by virtue of their essential humanity, enjoy all human rights unless exceptional distinctions serve a legitimate State objective, and are proportional to the achievement of that objective. This book attempts to understand and respond to the challenges of international human rights law guarantees for non-citizens' human rights."--BOOK JACKET |
