The last resort: violations of the human rights of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers Conor Foley and Sue Shutter for JCWI and Liberty. 1995 72pp 4.00. The authors examine various ways in which the UK's practices and procedures violate the rights of immigrants and asylum-seekers. After a brisk overview of relevant Articles of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights it takes us on short guided tours of the history of UK immigration law from 1905 onwards and the 1993 Asylum and Immigration Appeal Act. The rest of the pamphlet is devoted to descriptions of practice in deportations detention passport- checking and rules on family reunion which keep families apart.
