DESCRIPTION

The operation of borders and border control in practice may differ greatly from how it may be understood to operate in theory. In this course, the knowledge of the law on borders will be connected to societal reality. In the course Human Rights and the Borders, you will learn to connect knowledge of the law on borders to societal reality. Aside from general topics including the law on asylum, internal and external border controls, we will address current issues such as the safety of boat migrants, the role of private actors, and the use of technologies at the borders. The precise content of the course will be announced on Canvas.
