Title | The multi-layered structure of Dutch alien legislation: An historical and com-parative analysis (De gelaagdheid van de Nederlandse vreemdelingenregelgeving in historisch en vergelijkend perspectief) |
Description |
The Dutch alien legislation has a multi-layered structure. Rulers are laid down in the Aliens Act, which contains many delegating and optional provisions; the Aliens Decree, which is a General Administrative Order; the Aliens Regulation, which is a Ministerial regulation; and the Aliens Circular, which contains policy rules. This research project examined this multi-layered structure in historical and comparative legal contexts. The aim was to provide an insight into the reasons for, and the pros and cons of this structure. The research comprised a legal-historical inquiry, an international comparison, and an internal legal comparison. |
