Intersentia

This book aims to comment on the legal norms of the European Union which, in an especially hostile security context, enable the strengthening of the Union's defence capabilities and the gradual development of a "European Defence Union"-something that, until only a few years ago, seemed inconceivable given that this area falls, at least in principle, within the sovereign competences of each Member State.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

This book analyzes whether EU Member States hold any obligation, under international and European human rights law, to protect third country nationals applying for humanitarian visas with a view to lodging an international protection claim upon arrival in the EU.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

This book reveals how rape myths - incorrect beliefs about rape (survivors/perpetrators) - permeate asylum decision making. It is a guide for anyone aiming to move towards (more) gender-sensitive asylum decision making in a fundamentally interdisciplinary and care-oriented manner.

This book traces the trajectory of SOGI refugees throughout the Belgian asylum system, from their accommodation to the preparation of their asylum interview and eventual examination of their asylum claim. The book's broad perspective brings into focus the various actors who are a part of this process, working within, alongside, or against the asylum apparatus. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and in-depth interviews, the findings show how SOGI refugees' trajectories are impacted by the places and people they encounter along the way, just as these exceptional encounters leave an...

This book contains a review of forty "landmark" decisions issued by the European Court in Intellectual Property law between 2019 and 2024. As each decision originates from a dispute before a Member State court, the European Court's rulings have, as far as possible, been summarised and analysed by authors who are familiar with the relevant national jurisdiction.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   ;
