Complementary Protection in International Refugee Law

Zusatztext McAdam writes very clearly: her lucid style makes her arguments very easy to follow, which is a real asset for an academic wishing to have an impact on law makers... McAdam's work is significant because of the unjust and arbitrary way in which Australia currently handles the compassionate and humanitarian claims of people who the system judges not to be refugees. This work provides a principles framework through which to approach the task of determining which non-refugees should be allowed to remain in Australia and what their base entitlements should be. Informationen zum Autor Dr Jane McAdam is a lecturer in law at the University of Sydney. Prior to assuming that appointment in 2005, she held a law lectureship at Lincoln College, University of Oxford, where she undertook her doctorate on complementary protection in international refugee law.

She has worked on a variety of projects with UNHCR, the European Union, the Czech-Helsinki Committee, Amnesty International, the Refugee Council of Australia and the Refugee Studies Centre at the University of Oxford. She is the former General Editor of the Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal and is currently a member of the Editorial Board of the Sydney Law Review.

This book also provides an analysis of complementary protection.
