While nominally protected across Europe, the human rights of vulnerable migrants often fail to deliver their promised benefits in practice. This socio-legal study explores both the concrete expressions and possible causes of this persistent deficit. For this purpose, it presents an innovative multifaceted evaluation of selected judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the EU pertaining to such complex questions as the protection of persons fleeing from indiscriminate violence, homosexual asylum seekers, the Dublin Regulation, and the externalisation of border control. Highlighting the demanding character of migrant rights, the book also discusses some steps that could be taken to improve the effectiveness of Europe's supranational human rights system including changes in judicial and litigation practice as well as a reconceptualization of human rights as existential commitments.

Moritz Baumgärtel is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law of Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands and at University College Roosevelt. He holds a Ph.D. from the Université libre de Bruxelles, an M.Phil. in International Relations from the University of Cambridge and an LL.M. in Public International Law from Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands. In recent years, he has been a lecturer at Tilburg Law School and has held visiting positions at the law schools of the University of Michigan, Duke University, and the University of Copenhagen. Baumgärtel's research concerns the human rights of vulnerable migrants such as refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants.

'With a rigorous methodology and laser-precise analysis, Baumgärtel shows the potential - if adequately prompted by rights defenders - for the European judiciary to steer migration policies towards a better protection of the human rights of migrants, despite the increasing nationalist populist pressure towards tighter 'securitisation' of the borders.'
