Basic Documents on International Migration Law Edited by Richard Plender in Association With the AIRE Centre

Brings together in one volume the main international conventions, declarations and instruments governing international migration in the form in which they stood on 31 December 1995. It contains the texts of these materials, together with information on the current state of ratification of each instrument and indications of any reservations, interpretative declarations or other statements made by the States parties. The text includes: excerpts from multilateral texts; instruments governing nationality and statelessness; materials relating to refugees; and texts emanating from the Council of Europe, the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, the European Community and Union, and the International Labour Organization. Finally, there is a group of texts of general significance, from the Inter-American Convention on Territorial Asylum of 1945 to the Convention of Human Rights concluded by the Commonwealth of Independent States in 1995.
