The paper was accepted for the annual conference of the Socio-legal Studies Association that took place n 5-7 April 2016 at the Lancaster University in the UK. The paper addresses the gaps between law and state practice in managing mass migration movements, particularly in light of the humanitarian "corridor" established in 2015 in South-Eastern Europe for Syrian refugees. The paper focuses on the right to entry, the rights of transit and detention issues, showing that some state practices in this field are outside the national and European Union normative frameworks which govern the aforementioned areas. It points at potential new emerging rights that are being formed from state practice producing new rules of customary international law applicable for people who are entering the state irregularly within mass migration movements.
