The UNHCR and World Politics - A Perilous Path (Paperback)

This book examines the role of UNHCR in world politics since its founding 50 years ago, its relevance towards reaching solutions to global refugee problems, and its effectiveness as the international community's principal protection mechanism for persecuted populations who have been forced into exile. The author raises questions about the adequacy of the agency's mandate in contemporary world politics and the appropriate role of an intergovernmental agency in balancing the protection of individual and group rights against the sovereign prerogatives and interests of states. In addition to analyzing the difficulties of resolving past refugee crises, the author offers bold policy recommendations as to how to cope more effectively with future refugee problems.
