ABSTRACT
Freedom of movement is ‘the first and most fundamental of man’s liberties’.1 Without it, other rights are precarious. Universally recognized values, such as mutual aid, humanity, hospitality, comity, mutual intercourse, and good faith, all depend on the right to free movement for their efficacy. The world order depends on freedom of movement. Whether one is looking at the encouragement of peace by the easing of demographic pressures, or the enrichment of national cultures, or the redistribution of economic resources, or the pursuit of humanitarian objectives, freedom of movement has a central role to play in the modern global order.2 All are fundamentally interconnected and indivisible from one another.
