"The declaration of Human Rights (1948) recognizes the right to freedom of movement across boundaries: a right to emigrate - that is to leave a country - but not a right to immigrate - a right to enter a country (Art.13). (Benhabib, "The Rights of Others)"

"The Rights of Others" is an important book about global justice, notions of porous borders, and ideas of citizenship and freedom.
