Abstract

This article discusses the formation and development of international migration law as a sub-branch of public international law. Theoretical and conceptual aspects of classical and modern international legal views on the international legal regulation of migration processes and features of the subject of regulation of public relations within the framework of this legal sub-sector are studied. Also, the roles and meanings of the issue of territorial sovereignty, the rule of law in the implementation of the right to freedom of movement across borders, issues of harmonization and correlation of national and international law regarding the powers of states to regulate migration at the national level, the legal status of a migrant as a subject of legal relations related to migration are analyzed. The author made the following main conclusions: despite the rapid development of scientific research on the regulation of migration relations at the international legal level, international migration law is currently in the process of becoming an independent sub-branch of public international law. At the same time, the issue of regulating migration processes between states is one of the first issues of study in international law and is of an interdisciplinary nature.
