International Refugee Law: The Library of Essays in International Law

Editat de Hélène Lambert
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 mai 2010
The essays selected and reproduced in this volume explore how international refugee law is dynamic and constantly evolving. From an instrument designed to protect mostly those civilians fleeing the worse excesses of World War II, the 1951 Refugee Convention has developed into a set of principles, customary rules, and values that are now firmly embedded in the human rights framework, and are applicable to a far broader range of refugees. In addition, international refugee law has been affected by international humanitarian law and international criminal law (and vice versa). Thus, there is a reinforcing dynamic in the development of these complementary areas of law. At the same time, in recent decades states have shown a renewed interest in managing migration, thereby raising issues of how to reconcile such interests with refugee protection principles. In addition, the emergence of concepts of participation and responsibility to protect promise to have an impact on international refugee law.

Descriere

The essays selected and reproduced in this volume explore how international refugee law is dynamic and constantly evolving. The original set of principles, customary rules and values which were firmly embedded in the human rights framework are still liable to change in the light of developments in, for example, international humanitarian law, international criminal law, migration issues and new concepts of state participation and responsibility. Thus, there is a reinforcing dynamic in the development of these complementary areas of law.
