Law and (B)Order: Will border fence and transit zones stop the asylum seekers' wave on the balkan route?

Abstract

The chapter describes relevant topics in the field of migration in the Central Eastern European region, emphasizing but not getting lost in discussing the Hungarian point of view, since the country plays a crucially important role on the Balkan route due to its geopolitical position. Besides presenting true and fair views on the broader international context of mass migration, the paper provides the readers with a follow-up on the political events from the beginning of 2015 in Hungary and on the Balkan route. The chapter formulates valid and important questions in terms of the debate of "law versus ethics" related to the principles of international law and attempts to give an analysis on the critical collision of international and national laws, and it also provides details on the dangers and importance of the collision of national and international interests.
