Protection for Irregularized Migrants? – Trafficking, Smuggling and Asylum

Brief description:

The research examines the effects and implications of employing the criminal law concept of human trafficking in refugee law. It questions the compatibility of the criminal law framework and the refugee law framework, as well as the trafficked/smuggled distinction in order to examine which irregularized migrants can claim protection in the EU. The research is based on an analysis of trafficking-based asylum claims from the UK and Germany.
