The natural right of people to leave their
country of origin and return to it at
their convenience finds solid foundations
in International Law. However, this
internationally recognized right to leave
does not imply the right to enter and remain
in another State, due to the exercise of the
principle of its sovereignty, when controlling
access to its territory. Nonetheless, it appears
from this reflection that the exercise of State
sovereignty in matters of migration control
is no longer absolute, since the numerous
international commitments assumed by States
aim to guarantee the protection of migrants,
whether regular or irregular, imposing
considerable limitations. Result of the analysis
of modern dogmatics and substantive law
applicable to the mobility of people and the
protection of their rights, a resurgence of the
right of entry.
