Against the existing normative background this chapter examines the relevance of adopting a human security approach to understanding the limitations of the standards and principles guiding migration within international law. It aims to expose how international law responds to the human insecurity of people on the move. The chapter concludes that the nexus between migration and states’ control accentuates the tensions between sovereign rights and human rights, while it highlights the major challenges in terms of setting a framework to ensure migrants’ protection.engbook parthttps://www.doi.org/10.4337/9781800376977.00024https://www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/research-handbook-on-international-law-and-human-security-9781800376960.htmlmetadata only accessInternational migration lawHuman securityMigrationMigrant's protectionInmigrantes y refugiadosRelaciones internacionalesDerechos humanos5901 Relaciones Internacionales5901.05 Problemas de las Relaciones Internacionales
