CITIZENSHIP, MIGRATION AND ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAW

Abstract

The article deals with the question how EU anti-discrimination law and migration law are inter- related. The concept of fundamental market freedoms and the prohibition of discrimination based on na- tionality have approximated the status of state nationals and Union citizens. General human rights law, on the other hand, has strengthened the legal status of third-country nationals, also in the field of migration law. The combination of both approaches in the light of current anti-discrimination directives and activist human rights jurisprudence may lead to confusion.
