• The Integration and Protection of Immigrants

"This volume will be of great value to, as the authors put it, ‘all those who try to help immigrants and safeguard their rights’. As the number of people seeking asylum in European countries is reaching an unprecedented level, and more and more of them perish while trying to find a place of safety in Europe, the authors emphasise the need for authorities to find the way to enforce and properly implement the policies designed to protect these individuals."Zsuzsanna Godany, Habeas Corpus Project, Journal of Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law
