Question

Can someone interpret this question in depth and give examples: How far do human rights norms shape and/or constrain the responses of nation-states to forced migration?

Answer 1

.

The principle of universality of human rights is the cornerstone of international human rights law. Thus it becomes the duty of States to promote and protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms, regardless of the people’s; political, economic and cultural systems. Due to this, the responses of nation-states to forced migration is constrained. For example, due to these unalienable rights, countless illegal immigrants of Mexico have been legalized in the USA.
