In recent decades, asylum has emerged as a highly politicized
European issue. The term 'asylum seeker' has suffered a negative
perception and has been associated with notions of illegality and
criminality in mainstream media. These misconceptions have been
supported by politicians as a distraction from economic and
political uncertainties with the result that asylum seekers have
been deprived of significant rights. This book examines the effect
of recent attempts of harmonization on the identification and
protection of refugees. It considers the extent of obligations on
the state to admit and protect refugees and examines the 1951
Refugee Convention. The motivations of European legislators and
legislation concerning asylum procedures and reception conditions
are also analysed. Proposals and initiatives for refugee movements
and determinations are examined and assessed. The author makes
suggestions for better protection of refugees while responding to
the security concerns of States, and questions whether European law
and policy is doing enough to uphold the fundamental right to seek
and enjoy asylum as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. This book takes a bold look at a controversial issue and
generates discussion for those involved in the fields of human
rights, migrational and transnational studies, law and society and
international law.
