When someone applies for a passport, travels from his country of residence to another country, or seeks to enter another country for employment or school attendance, these actions are part and parcel of International Immigration law.
This area of law is regulated by international law and is very closely associated with nationality law, which basically deals with a person’s legal status as a citizen. Immigration law is not uniform throughout the world, but the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights has decreed that all countries must allow entry to their own citizens.
