Zusatztext The monograph makes a significant contribution to the existing literature pertaining to the Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa of 1969. The analysis succeeds very well in illuminating the historical context in which the 1969 Convention came about, while also engaging with its inter-relationship with other treaties relevant to refugee protection. It is a very timely contribution on a topic of seminal importance to the African continent and beyond.
