What can the "spatial turn" in international law offer in pursuit of accountability in migration control? Perceiving the site of a violation from a bird's-eye view and mapping different accountability structures across different legal regimes and regions can identify blind spots, and it can help to critically assess existing trajectories and explore the wider grid of potential accountability mechanisms. In this GLJ Shorts episode, Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen presents his and Nikolas Feith Tan's article "A Topographical Approach to Accountability for Human Rights Violations in Migration Control," which appeared in the Special Issue "Border Justice: Migration and Accountability for Human Rights Violations" in GLJ vol. 21:3 in April 2020. Interview by German Law Journal editor Nora Markard, editing by Marlene Stiller.
