International Refugee Law

Refugees are people who have fled their countries to escape persecution, armed conflict, or violence and have sought safety in another country. The 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol are the main legal documents that define the term 'refugee' and outline their rights and the international standards of treatment for their protection. The core principle of the 1951 Convention is non-refoulement, which asserts that a refugee should not be returned to a country where they face serious threats to their life or freedom. This book, International Refugee Law, attempts to provide a critical perspective on the legal landscape for refugees and internally displaced persons and discusses the functioning of international and regional organisations associated with the protection of refugees. This book contains 15 chapters contributed by experts in the field and includes the latest bibliography on international refugee law. This book will be useful to researchers, students, judicial officers and officials engaged in policy formulation.
