International law allocates large discretion for States on the issue of permission to enter and deportation of aliens. States enjoy almost absolute discretion for the entry of foreigners. But once they are on their territory, international law expects the territorial State to observe certain rules vis-à-vis the alien. The present Article deals with the latter aspect of the rules of state responsibility under international law, the rules governing the expulsion of aliens and its legal consequences. In recent years the question of expulsion of aliens has gained close affiliation with rules governing human rights. Finally, due to the extensive treatment of the subject by the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal in 1980s, the case law of the Tribunal is also paid special attention. The Tribunal dealt with the legal rules on this subject, as well as the financial consequences of the expulsion of aliens. Since in practice there is no possibility of restitution of the expelled alien, the main consequence is of course the financial one. gte mso 9]>l> Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 gte mso 9]>l>
