Utvisningspraksis

Utvisningspraksis refers to the established practices and procedures by which a country's authorities decide to expel or deport foreign nationals. This practice is a fundamental aspect of immigration law and national sovereignty, allowing states to control who enters and resides within their borders. The specific grounds for expulsion vary significantly between countries but commonly include violations of immigration laws, such as overstaying a visa or working without authorization. Criminal convictions are another frequent basis for expulsion, with the severity of the offense often determining the likelihood of deportation.

Furthermore, national security concerns can lead to expulsion, particularly in cases where an individual is deemed a threat to the state. Public order offenses, such as engaging in disruptive behavior or posing a risk to public health, can also be grounds for removal. The process typically involves legal proceedings where the individual has the right to present their case, often with legal representation. This may include appealing the decision or seeking asylum if they fear persecution in their country of origin. International human rights conventions, such as the prohibition of refoulement (returning individuals to a country where they face torture or persecution), often influence and constrain a country's utvisningspraksis. The application of these practices is subject to judicial review and can be a complex and sensitive area of law.
