Outline of Final Research Achievements

Global migration is a growing phenomenon, which affects nations with both legal and moral dilemmas. Japan is no exception; it faces pressures to enhance human mobility over borders and to strengthen homeland and national security, and thus is in need of legal reforms suggested in this study:
1) Although there has been a strong moral claim to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants, prominently by J. H. Carens, such amnesty is still incompatible with the current Japanese legal systems; 2) Even acknowledging the possibility of human rights violations under the current immigration law, the Japanese courts are reluctant to annul deportations; 3) The Conseil d'Etat in France on the other hand, drawing primarily on rights protected under ECHR and EU treaty rights, has established a doctrine that limits administrative discretion in favour of immigrants facing deportation. Japanese courts are advised, with the necessary adjustments, to be likewise proactive in scrutinising administrative decisions.
