Summary
This chapter is concerned with a particular type of myopia in human rights law – namely, a myopia about the role that mobility plays in the lives of refugees. Rights that regulate mobility offer protections that are incomplete. And those incomplete protections are also incongruous: the interests protected under the law often do not correspond to the motivations of the refugees who seek to avail themselves of the law.
