intergovernmental organisations are normally based on an international treaty or a convention according to international law. Interpol is not based on such a treaty, and entails no structure of national representation from the highest governmental levels, e.g. governmental Ministers, officials or ambassadors (Occhipinti, 2003, p. 29).

While the International Law Commission specifically addresses ‘teachings of publicists’ and judgments, it has chosen to simply mention the relevance of its own work – which it did in the commentary opening Part V. Pereira argues that the Commission was right in not including its work under the ‘teachings of publicists’ heading. Deplano examines the role of resolutions adopted by intergovernmental

The Organisation is composed of three organs: the General Conference of representatives of member States (the International Labour Conference); the Governing Body; and the International Labour Office. The rights that concern the
application of the Charter, the Protocol, or any other relevant human rights instrument ratified by the States concerned (Article 3.1); the Court may also offer advisory opinions which do not trespass on the work of the Commission (Article 4). Court cases will be open to States, African intergovernmental organisations, relevant NGOs with observer status before the Commission, and individuals (Article 5.3): NGO and individual cases require a supporting declaration from the State concerned in accordance with Article 34.6. Entry into force of the Protocol requires fifteen

The rights of member states The only freedom of action left to members in matters of this kind is to be found in Article 51, which emphasises that ‘nothing in the Charter shall impair the inherent
access to a range of audiences, allowing them to engage with members of the international community directly and with greater speed. Web 2.0 technologies serve to amplify the voices of non-state armed groups at the international level. Yet, these actors are required to work within the discursive power structures that define African subjects within the international system, as well as negotiate narratives about conflict and insecurity in Africa produced externally by states, intergovernmental organisations and human rights interest groups.

deaths of those en route were documented in different ways by local coroners across various states, while those arriving to the EU alive were identified and documented by local police authorities as well as by EU agencies such as Frontex, Europol, Eurojust and the European Asylum Support Office (EASO). States as well as intergovernmental organisations such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) collated data about migratory journeys, while digital records of travellers were transferred between
global gendered wage gaps. At the same time, these states are also less likely to emphasise specific occupational sectors, an approach which generally targets key male-dominated professions. These findings are important not only to map the dependent variable of analysis in future chapters of the book (the extent of gender awareness of policies) but also more broadly for policy-makers and intergovernmental organisations interested in understanding how gender awareness of skilled immigration policies vary across countries. The next section of this chapter provides an

As far as intergovernmental organisations are concerned, the premier organisation at the global level is the IOC, established by UNESCO as a subsidiary body in 1960 in order to ‘promote scientific investigation and

Apart from the formal, semi-structured, and mostly recorded interviews, I also conducted many informal face-to-face conversations, interviews over social media, and maintained correspondence with NGO leaders, migrant workers coming to these NGOs, FAs and academics in China – in some cases long after I had finished my participant observation part of the fieldwork – which brings the total number of interviews to around a hundred.
