Research on foreigners
This concerns newly arrived as well as permanently residing foreigners; important issues are family reunification, naturalisation, confinement, deportation, extradition and exceptional leave to remain (tolerated stay).
These sensitive issues require that the Institute must be informed in depth on the rights and implications of international human rights law with respect to foreigners in order that the Institute may fulfil its advisory and expert function; hence, the need for research-based knowledge.
