At the Frontiers of State Responsibility, 95: Socio-Economic Rights and Cooperation on Migration

States in the Global North cooperate with those in the Global South to stem irregular migration flows, often leading to violations of the socio-economic rights of refugees and migrants contained in the Global South. This book examines the responsibilities of sponsor States in the Global North and partner States in the Global South under international human rights law to realize the socio-economic rights of people on the move. It explores the circumstances under which each State involved in migration control incurs responsibility for these violations and how the responsibility of one State relates to that of another.

The Global North and the Global South are increasingly collaborating to address irregular migration flows, leading to the containment of many refugees and migrants in countries with weak track records in terms of socio-economic rights. This raises concerns about the responsibility of the various states involved for the well-being of these individuals. While existing scholarship has paid attention to the issue of migration control agreements, it has overlooked the widespread violations of the socio-economic rights of people on the move in the Global South. This book aims to fill this gap in the literature by examining the states responsible for these violations.

The book begins by depicting the plight of people on the move in the Global South and tracing the development of cooperative migration control policies. It then examines the extent to which sponsor states in the Global North and partner states in the Global South have obligations under international human rights law to realize the socio-economic rights of people on the move. The analysis focuses on the scope of partner states' obligations towards individuals on their territory as well as sponsor states' extraterritorial obligations, including both their direct obligations triggered by exercising extraterritorial jurisdiction and their global obligations of international assistance and cooperation.

The book also explores the circumstances under which each state involved in migration control incurs responsibility for the violations of the socio-economic rights of people on the move and how the responsibility of one state relates to that of another. It is particularly relevant for human rights and migration scholars, as well as legal scholars working on issues of shared responsibility.

In conclusion, this book provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between migration control and the realization of socio-economic rights. It highlights the need for greater cooperation and accountability between states to ensure the protection and well-being of all individuals on the move, regardless of their origin or destination.
