Forced Migration, Human Rights and Security: Studies in International Law

Editat de Jane McAdam
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 mar 2008
The international protection regime for refugees and other forced migrants seems increasingly at risk as measures designed to enhance security-of borders, of people, of institutions, and of national identity-encroach upon human rights. This timely edited collection responds to some of the contemporary challenges faced by the international protection regime, with a particular focus on the human rights of those displaced. The book begins by assessing the impact of anti-terrorism laws on refugee status, both at the international and domestic levels, before turning to examine the function of offshore immigration control mechanisms and extraterritorial processing on asylum seekers' access to territory and entitlements (both procedural and substantive). It considers the particular needs and rights of children as forced migrants, but also as children; the role of human rights law in protecting religious minorities in the context of debates about national identity; the approaches of refugee decision-makers in assessing the credibility of evidence; and the scope for an international judicial commission to provide consistent interpretative guidance on refugee law, so as to overcome (or at least diminish) the currently diverse and sometimes conflicting approaches of national courts. The last part of the book examines the status of people who benefit from 'complementary protection'-such as those who cannot be removed from a country because they face a risk of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment-and the scope for the broader concept of the 'responsibility to protect' to address gaps in the international protection regime.

Recenzii

...any publication within the McAdam repertoire is approached with high expectations and this edition is no exception to the standard set in earlier works.
[The] papers, by leading academic figures in the broad field of international law and human rights, will serve as a handy tool of research for students, practitioners, historians and all others interested in the plight of involuntary migrants caught up in a constantly changing political environment across the globe.
The findings of the book will make a valuable contribution to the ever ongoing discussion on the protection of persons in need of protection.
