Observing that the lack of a legal right to freedom of movement across is borders is remarkable in the context of international human rights law, Juss (reader in law, King's College London, UK) argues for such a normative right and sets out what a such an international legal regime that recognized such a right should look like. Among the other arguments he makes in his theoretical reformulation of international migrant law are the idea that the only reasonable state limitations on immigration fall under the broad interests of public health and safety, public morals, fiscal integrity, and national security and the conclusion that refugee conventions must incorporate the notion of failed states into their judgments about individualized risk and expand their definition of forced displacement. He concludes with observations on why the theoretical benefits of globalization to developing countries are only likely to accrue if countries open up their borders.
