General Section

National Monographs

United States of America

The Migration Law section of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws deals with international and national rules on immigration and right of residence of non-nationals. It contains national monographs on the migration law applicable in each country.

These monographs focus on practical information on the administrative procedures to be followed in order to obtain the right to enter and to reside in a State, including the following:

border control;
establishment of right of residence;
special treatment of non-accompanied minors;
loss of right of residence;
sanctions against illegal entry or assisting illegal entry; and
access to labour market or self-employed activities.

For many countries, these monographs provide the only comprehensive and concise source of information on migration law. Major international law firms and national immigration specialists both in public and private organizations (national immigration offices, human resources specialists in companies and organizations, non-governmental organizations) will welcome this Encyclopaedia and its monographs.

The International Encyclopaedia of Laws is peer-reviewed under the responsibility of the editors and the general editor’s office.
