Constraining Executive Discretion in the 'Public Interest'
Blog: Verfassungsblog
The use of highly-discretionary executive powers to make immigration decisions has given rise to debate in Australia and internationally. In Australia, the problem is particularly acute because a number of provisions in the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) (the Migration Act) allow the Minister for Immigration (the Minister) to intervene in visa decisions on 'public interest' grounds. These intervention powers are controversial as they are personal to the Minister, non-reviewable and non-compellable. As a result, they have been subject to criticism by both civil society and academics. In addition to these intervention provisions, other sections in the Migration Act include a broad and subjective 'national interest' criterion for the grant or refusal of certain visa decisions. These two sets of powers were recently adjudicated in a series of High Court cases in Australia.

From Brain Drain and Brain Gain to Brain Circulation: Towards a More Social Europe
Blog: ostBLOG
by Kathleen Beger and Ulf Brunnbauer Weak economies and a lack of professional prospects have had a significant impact on migration movement from Central and (South)East European countries to Germany over the past two decades. The EU Eastern Enlargement in 2004, 2007 and 2013, together with the freedom of movement in the EU, as well as visa liberalisation for non-EU countries, and programmes implemented by Germany to facilitate the immigration of skilled workers from third countries have accelerated this process. Thus, between 2015 and […]

Demokratische Argumente für Einwanderung. Ein Beitrag von Rainer Bauböck
Blog: DVPW-Blog
Politische Debatten über Immigration sind in der Öffentlichkeit demokratischer Einwanderungsstaaten allgegenwärtig. Seit den 1980er-Jahren wird auch in der normativen politischen Theorie heftig über die Frage gestritten, ob liberale Demokratien das Recht haben, Einwanderung zu kontrollieren und zu begrenzen. Dass faktisch alle Staaten dieses Recht für sich in Anspruch nehmen, ist unbestreitbar. Die Frage ist, ob Einwanderungskontrolle aus demokratischer Sicht normativ gerechtfertigt werden kann.

Poland's Sham 'Migration' Referendum
Blog: Verfassungsblog
On June 15, 2023, Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of Poland's PiS party, announced a rare referendum, ostensibly to allow the public to weigh in on crucial elements of Polish immigration policy, alongside the general elections. Yet, in reality, the referendum had little to do with migration and the opposition parties largely ignored the referendum's questions to avoid its deployment as an electoral campaign tool. As such, whatever voters will decide on Election day, it will tell us little about the state of Polish migration politics.

A Win for LGBT Rights in Namibia
Blog: Verfassungsblog
In the recent case of Digashu and Seiler-Lilles the Namibian Supreme Court held that denying the recognition of same-sex spouses under the Immigration Control Act 1993 was not only a violation of the right to dignity under the Namibian Constitution, but also amounted to unfair discrimination. While limited in scope, the judgement is a win for the rights of LGBTQIA+ persons in a jurisdiction where they remain mostly unrecognized. It is also notable for its use of comparativism as a deliberative resource.

The Long Overdue Fall of Al-Kateb
Blog: Verfassungsblog
On the 8th of November, the High Court of Australia delivered a landmark ruling that the indefinite detention regime under the Migration Act is unconstitutional, overruling the 2004 decision of Al-Kateb. The decision, both in form and substance, sent shockwaves through Australia's legal and political establishment. In adopting the relatively uncommon procedure of issuing orders immediately following the hearing (with reasons to follow), a gap was created where politicians rushed to come up with a legislative response in the absence of any clearly articulated constitutional rules. In an island country, where several elections in the last 20 years have been ostensibly won and lost over concerns of 'illegal' immigration, this decision has been political dynamite.
