The Role of Human Rights in Immigration Law and Policy

Human Rights and Immigration Law work together to protect the dignity and rights of migrants. Immigration law governs who can enter or stay in a country, while human rights ensure individuals are treated fairly, regardless of their immigration status. Key principles include the right to seek asylum, protection from discrimination, and access to legal representation. Human rights also safeguard against arbitrary detention and inhumane treatment. Balancing national security with these rights is crucial in creating fair immigration systems. Upholding human rights within immigration law ensures equitable treatment for all individuals, fostering inclusive and just societies.
