The year 2015 saw an unprecedented number of refugees and migrants arriving to Europe through the "Western Balkans migration route", where the states through which the route passed established the so-called "humanitarian corridor". The operation of this corridor was outside the European normative framework and was treated by those states as a de facto undeclared "state of exception". This situation, marked by an exceptionally intensive arrival of refugees and migrants en masse, was governed by ad hoc rules that were changing on a daily basis, creating an extremely unpredictable and uncertain situation for all stakeholders involved, in particular for the migrants and refugees themselves. This article discusses the crimmigration responses to mass migration management that are prevalent in contemporary law and politics, analyses the corridor within the current crimmigration context and demonstrates how the corridor defied the contemporary crimmigration approach to mass migration.

The article addresses the problem of the surveillance, disciplining and criminalization of practices of non-governmental initiatives which offer help to irregular migrants, asylum seekers and refugees in Slovenia and four neighbouring countries. Based on original empirical work - interviews with members of NGOs - it analyses the dynamic of these processes through several stages of the "continuum of criminalization". Five types of crimmigration policies and practices of authorities and other actors were identified which produce cumulative effects and reduce space for both political and human action as well as spontaneity.

Today, at a time when we are witnessing the ˝multiplication of borders˝, borders are occupying new domains. The article focuses on the erection of digital borders by means of biometric technology, which is creating new knowledge through the compilation of large biometric databases in the EU. By ˝tattooing˝ borders onto immigrant bodies, disciplinary power is being superseded by the post-disciplinary power of ˝instant surveillance˝. The article continues by analysing re-bordering practices by means of seemingly apolitical information technology, and concludes by delving into the new harms caused by re-bordering, including violations of human rights and the emergence of multi-layered criminal law.

The article analyzes how crimmigration law, combined with a range of illegal practices employed by the Tunisian authorities, negatively impacts on the human rights of irregular migrants, in particular asylum seekers, in Tunisia. By placing Tunisia's migration policy within the broader EU strategy of externalizing migration controls, the article shows how the EU supports, and relies on, Tunisia's systemic violations of human rights in order to prevent irregular migrants from reaching the EU.The central part of the article is divided in four sections, with each section examining the impact of Tunisia's migration policy on a specific human right.
