Migrations flows are not a brand-new phenomenon. Nonetheless, in these last years, the findings are worrying. In fact, at the end of the year 2016, a record was reached as the number of displaced people amounted to 65.6 million. In this connection, it must be stressed that the European continent has been particularly affected by this crisis. Bearing this in mind, we have to mention that some Member States of the European Union have adopted their own strategies, which -in some occasions- have deviated far from the position imposed by the mentioned international organization. At this juncture, it is relevant to examine the approach that the Court of Justice of the European Union has had in one particular case, which resulted in the long-awaited judgment rendered on September 6, 2017. ; Los flujos migratorios no constituyen un fenómeno nuevo. No obstante, en la actualidad, los datos arrojados son alarmantes. De hecho, a finales del año 2016 se alcanzó un récord en la medida en que el número de personas desplazadas ascendió a 65,6 millones. En este sentido, debe señalarse que el continente europeo se ha visto especialmente afectado por esta crisis. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, debemos mencionar que algunos Estados Miembros de la Unión Europea han adoptado sus propias medidas, las cuales se han alejado -en ocasiones- de las premisas impuestas por la referida organización inter-nacional. Ante esta situación, es relevante examinar la postura que mantuvo el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea en un determinado caso que dio lugar a la esperada sentencia del 6 de septiembre de 2017. ; Sin financiación ; No data JCR 2020 ; 0.152 SJR (2020) Q3, 490/770 Law ; 0.333 IDR (2019) C1, 51/353 Derecho ; UEM

Surveillance measures, seen sometimes as Orwellian strategies, have been implemented due to the fact that governments want, among others, to tackle terrorism, organised crime, and illegal immigration. Nevertheless, those are at the centre of an ongoing debate as many scandals have appeared recently related with the disputed practices applied by certain intelligence agencies. When this indiscriminate and irresponsible use of mass surveillance practices take place -in which it seems that we are all carrying our own "pocket sensors"- a question that summarises quite much the subject arises: are we walking towards a "dystopian Orwellian state" when applying measures that affect our very essence of the right to privacy? To solve this enigma, it is crucial to analyse the national surveillance programmes under the European legal framework of fundamental rights and freedoms in order to determine if the above-mentioned practices successfully overcome or not a "dystopian state test". ; Sin financiación ; No data JCR 2014 ; UEM

According to the Maastricht Treaty, the EU has to strengthen the rights and interests of the European nationals through the introduction of a citizenship of the Union. In this regard, we have to highlight that the free movement of citizens, which is the core right of the EU citizenship, has been in the spotlight during these last years as domestic temporary constraints have been recently imposed by some member States against the population of other European partners, despite the fact that the mentioned right has not only achieved economic benefits, but also paved the way for a common European identity. Why has this happened? Has the UE implemented appropriate measures in order to guarantee this freedom? On the contrary, has the EU's outlook changed due to, among other reasons, the on-going financial crisis that started in 2007? Either way, these national policies do interfere with the main objectives of the single market. Moreover, they severely undermine the very essence of the EU. Consequently, does this mean its denaturalization? ; No data (2015) ; UEM
