- human rights and refugee law constraints on expulsion;
- the human rights and refugee law rights linked to expulsion procedures;
- the rights and guarantees for administrative detention of migrants;
- rights connected to work and labour;
- and rights to education, to the highest attainable standard of health, to adequate housing, to water, to food, and to social security.
