The word 'refugee' is both evocative and contested; it means
different things to different people. For lawyers, the main legal
reference point is the UN Refugee Convention of 1951. This concise
and engaging book follows the structure of the Convention to
explore international refugee law. Including an introduction to the
historical and legal context, Colin Yeo draws on his experience as
an immigration barrister to explain the present-day legal framework
for global refugee protection. Chapters consider: * well-founded
fear; * persecution; * the loss of refugee status and exclusion; *
the rights of refugees; * and state responses to refugee claims.
The book includes studies of key legal cases, reviews the successes
and failures of the Convention and looks ahead to the future,
including the impact of climate change and the Global Compact on
Refugees. Communicating important legal concepts in an approachable
way, this is an essential guide for students, lawyers and
non-specialists.
