Abstract

This paper traces the implications of the territorial sovereignty principle raised by some EU Member States in response to the current refugee ‘crisis’ in Europe. It demonstrates that, despite the fact that the contemporary world is based on the post-sovereign states, whose traditional sovereignty is restricted by international and transnational norms, in the present ‘crisis’ the argument of territorial sovereignty served some states to restore both - the state’s power to decide who can enter its territory and who can claim membership in its political community. The authors argue that if exclusionary approaches to migrations seen exclusively through the lenses of the core sovereign prerogative continue to prevail over international and transnational law, it would not only abandon refugees, but also the further building of an ‘ever closer union among the peoples of Europe’.
