The Refugee in International Law 3/e

Descriere

Millions of people are today forced to flee their homes as a result of conflict, systematic discrimination, or other forms of persecution. The core instruments on which they must rely to secure international protection are the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. This book, the leading text in the field, examines key challenges to the Convention, through logically examining the status of refugees, applications for asylum, and finally the international and domestic standards of protection.
