Dear friends, Please be informed that the European Court of Human Rights jointly with the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights launched today its handbook on European law relating to asylum, borders and immigration. It is the first comprehensive guide to European law relating to asylum, borders and immigration, taking into account both the case-law of the ECtHR and that of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). It also contains the relevant EU Regulations and Directives, as well as references to the European Social Charter (ESC) and other Council of Europe instruments. The handbook focuses on law covering the situation of third-country nationals in Europe and covers a broad range of topics, including access to asylum procedures, procedural safeguards and legal support in asylum and return cases, detention and restrictions to freedom of movement, forced returns, and economic and social rights. The guide is aimed at lawyers, judges, prosecutors, border guards, immigration officials and others working with national authorities, as well as non-governmental organisations and other bodies that may be confronted with legal questions in the areas covered by the handbook. The handbook is currently available in four languages and can be downloaded in English at: echr.coe.int/Documents/Handbook_asylum_ENG.pdf in French at: echr.coe.int/Pages/home.aspx?p=echrpublications/other&c=#n13709341192801970078259_pointer
