The Workshop 'Territorial rights and rights to movement and subsistence' - organised in the framework of the CLOE project - will be held on 12th-13th December 2022 at University of Genoa (Italy).

These, indeed, are all urgent challenges that states are facing and that call for more normative work aimed at providing states with fine theoretical tools to orient their immigration and borders-control policies.
The main normative problems lie on different possible ways to interpret and justify states’ territorial rights and, particularly, states’ right to control their borders and massive flows of people across them. We would like to tackle fundamental questions such as whether migrants’ exclusion violates their rights to movement and subsistence with a specific focus on what states’ territorial rights entail.
