• Resumen

  • In Chapter III, asylum detention in Italy is considered. The case study pinpoints that deprivation of liberty is a serious interference with an individual’s fundamental rights, and can as such sustain and generate vulnerability. The chapter discusses how the migration control measures in Italy create vulnerability per se. It further stresses the need to pay particular attention to the special needs of vulnerable asylum-seekers in the context of detention.
