Security and Migration Law in the Less Brave New World

University of British Columbia, Canada

This article examines the shifting relationship between security concerns and migration law, considering in particular the tensions in this relationship since the events of September 11, 2001. It focuses on a series of high profile cases testing provisions allowing for the indefinite detention of non-nationals in the United Kingdom, the United States, New Zealand and Canada. These cases are the basis for the conclusion that the transformed securitization of migration law leads to a new challenge for the rule of law. As security becomes the norm for migration law, its traditional exceptionalism is being called into question.

Key Words: indefinite detention • migration law • rule of law • security • September 11 • 2001
