Over the last few years, the welfare rights of illegalized migrants living in Belgium have become increasingly restricted. Without a legal residence status, such rights are limited to (conditional) access to public healthcare. Welfare courts have, however, sometimes gone against the grain and granted social assistance benefits to irregularized applicants, based on fundamental rights principles. Conflicting jurisprudential trends have emerged and are still debating the ambiguous, and multiple meanings of ‘human dignity’ especially for those with a precarious immigration status. This article delves into the role of courts in the implementation of migrants' welfare rights. Based on ethnographic fieldwork within welfare courts, in public administrations and amongst migrants, it shows how litigation has become part of the daily governance of social protection. This allows certain categories of migrants to gain access to financial assistance, yet creates lengthy, complex procedures and leading to great uncertainty for claimants.

Refugee crises present intractable policy problems at international, national and local levels. Refugee policy issues are misunderstood, misrepresented or inadequately processed and unresolved in the tensions of ambivalence to refugees and asylum-seekers. In this chapter, we examine whether refugee migration problems can be characterised as wicked societal problems that cannot be solved. On the basis of a schematised analysis of the structure and content of wicked refugee migration policy problems, we propose contemporary developmental science as an appropriate contributor to understanding and managing them. We demonstrate how core developmental concepts provide exceptional descriptions of wicked problems, add to wicked problem formulation, and warrant being a contributor to collaborative understanding and management of wicked refugee migration policy problems.
