Reihe: International Studies in Human Rights

This volume examines the rules regarding treatment of aliens and the extent to which these rules have been adopted in the domestic legislation of more than 40 different states.

It aims to achieve two basic goals:

to define the status of aliens under international law, that is, which rights are granted to every person by international instruments

to establish whether this set of rules has been adopted by the domestic legislation of the states under review

The author classifies the basic human rights of aliens into seven different categories, namely: 1) fundamental rights; 2) private rights; 3) social and cultural rights; 4) economic rights; 5) political rights; 6) public rights; and 7) procedural rights.

For each of these categories she reviews opinions of international legal commentators, decisions of international and regional tribunals, as well as national legislation, domestic court decisions, and opinions of local authorities.
