In managing the growing number of refugees arriving in the
industrialised world, beginning at the end of the 1970s, States
have devised increasingly restrictive policies. The objectives of
these measures have been to restrict access to the territory or, at
least, to asylum procedures. Thus, while international co-operation
in the refugee field traditionally focused on protection and
assistance, the last two decades have been characterised by the
emergence of transnational policies aimed at containing refugee
flows, primarily on the European continent. The convoluted refugee
routes - often described as 'secondary' or 'irregular' movements of
refugees between countries of origin and their final destination -
have been among States' major preoccupations. To combat what they
often perceive to be proof of the fraudulent or manifestly
unfounded nature of asylum claims, European States have passed
legislation or agreed on international instruments designed to
allocate and even evade responsibility for the examination of
asylum applications. Even bolder solutions have been advocated more
recently, such as the outsourcing of asylum procedures through
regional or offshore schemes. This book presents a critical legal
analysis of the mechanisms and arrangements devised by States to
tackle secondary movements of refugees, and offers innovative
solutions to the protection crisis afflicting the global refugee
regime. After providing a comprehensive breakdown of the various
legal tools used by States to combat secondary refugee movements,
the book argues that, while the legality of these various
arrangements is seriously in doubt, the most appropriate way to
address these protection failures is to strengthen and develop
adequate international accountability mechanisms.
