Abstract

In the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) the right of States to control migration is firmly established despite strong indications that the effects of migration control are not racially neutral. In this article we attempt to understand how it is possible that the doctrine of sovereign migration control is not considered to breach the prohibition of racial discrimination. We argue that the ECtHR’s approach to migration and racial discrimination fits a pattern in the historical development of migration law whereby the right to travel, and the power of States to restrict this right, have been consistently defined in such a way as to protect the interests of the predominantly white population of today's global North. Hence, the ease with which the racialised impact of migration control is accepted as normal and compatible with the prohibition of racial discrimination is consistent with migration law's long history as part of colonial and postcolonial relations.
种族和国际移民的管理。殖民主义对欧洲人权法院判例法的持续影响
在欧洲人权法院(欧洲人权法院)的判例法中,各国控制移徙的权利是牢固确立的,尽管有强有力的迹象表明,移徙控制的影响不是种族中立的。在本文中,我们试图理解主权移民控制理论如何可能不被视为违反种族歧视禁令。我们认为,欧洲人权法院处理移民和种族歧视的方法符合移民法历史发展的一种模式,即旅行权和国家限制这一权利的权力一直以这样一种方式定义,以保护当今全球北方以白人为主的人口的利益。因此,移民控制的种族化影响很容易被接受为正常现象,并与禁止种族歧视相一致,这与移民法作为殖民和后殖民关系的一部分的长期历史是一致的。
