Abstract
The fortification of state borders with walls and the but use of law-making power and the adjudicating power of domestic courts to prevent the movement of persons —in particular those in need of protection and mainly on grounds of national security — are increasingly common in contemporary international society. This new trend is sending a troubling message to the international community about what is permitted with regard to third countries and which human rights are protected and to what extent, if at all.
