Children in Migration and International Family Law: An Introduction
摘要
This introductory chapter gives an overview over the aims and topics of the book. The key contents of the contributions to the book are briefly presented. The authors begin by describing the complexity of the interface between migration law and family law and then highlight some crucial, overarching issues. In particular, they show that the best interests of the child are interpreted differently by different actors. The divergence of approaches in migration and family law is striking. Also, some central case law of the CJEU and ECtHR for the topics covered by FAMIMOVE is discussed. The article concludes with an overview of the main actors at the interface between migration law and family law and their roles or activities.
