This interdisciplinary study engages law, history, and political
theory in a first attempt to crystallize the lessons the global
'refugee crisis' can teach us about the nature of international
law. It connects the dots between the actions of Jewish migrants to
Palestine after WWII, Vietnamese 'boatpeople', Haitian refugees
seeking to reach Florida, Middle Eastern migrants and refugees
bound to Australia, and Syrian refugees currently crossing the
Mediterranean, and then legal responses by states and international
organizations to these movements. Through its account of maritime
migration, the book proposes a theory of human rights modelled
around an encounter between individuals in which one of the parties
is at great risk. It weaves together primary sources, insights from
the work of twentieth-century thinkers such as Hannah Arendt and
Emmanuel Levinas, and other legal materials to form a rich account
of an issue of increasing global concern.
