Knowing EU immigration and asylum law for a better protection of rights

Legal practitioners and other professionals working in the field of asylum and immigration law use and implement rules that flow from a variety of national and international sources including the Council of Europe and European Union (EU)

EU directives and regulations occupy a central place in this legal tangle:

They create rights for migrants and obligations for the Member States;
They are based on and at times go beyond the protection guaranteed by international instruments;
They prevail over national law under the principle of EU primacy.

In this complex context, legal and other professionals can often struggle to keep on top of constantly evolving rules and their interpretation by the Court of Justice of the EU.

The website www.europeanmigrationlaw.eu has been created to respond to their needs. Aimed at judges, lawyers, trade unions, social workers, NGOs, governments, international organisations, academics, researchers, etc. it is a useful tool that offers direct, simple and updated information on legal and jurisprudential developments in the field of asylum and immigration.
