About the Book
"This book aims at assessing the Norwegian Government’s policy of denying Jehovas vitner state grants, removing Jehovas vitner’s registration and denying re-registration through the lens of the European Convention on Human Rights. Its methodology is based on the Strasbourg Court’s approach to similar leading cases, describing in the first part of the text the factual circumstances of the case and the relevant legal framework and practice, including domestic, international, comparative law, case-law and soft law, in order to spotlight the most important court cases on disfellowshipping and disassociation reported in the world. The second part of the text focuses on articles 9 and 11 of the ECHR, read alone or in conjunction with its article 14, applying the general principles of the pertinent case-law to the present case. Concluding remarks close the text in the light of the overarching principles of autonomy of religious communities and state neutrality in religious matters." - Cambridge Scholar Publishing

About the Book
"This book presents an original framework of transnational asylum to inform future cooperation between states on asylum processing and refugee protection. The book provides scholarly guidance on how policies can be undertaken in a way that conforms with the rights of asylum seekers and refugees under international law, asking if transnational asylum offers a workable model for lawful international cooperation and responsibility-sharing. It engages with the practical and legal modalities needed to ensure respect for binding obligations in the context of the current trend of rejection of territorial asylum among some states. The book puts forward a blueprint for how existing policies of deterrence and externalisation can be retooled to share, rather than shift, responsibility for refugees. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students, policymakers and practitioners interested and working in Human Rights, International Refugee Law and Refugee Studies." - Routledge

- Research project in the summer semester: UN Visible? International decisions in migration law in national case law
In this research-based seminar, participants will examine the extent to which international decisions on flight and migration have been incorporated into the asylum case law of national administrative courts, the context in which this has occurred and the impact this has had on the outcome of the decision. The results of the research will be published in the Zeitschrift für Ausländerrecht (ZAR).
The seminar will take place online as a block seminar. More information in the event notes.
