The international protection regime for refugees and other forced
migrants seems increasingly at risk as measures designed to enhance
security-of borders, of people, of institutions, and of national
identity-encroach upon human rights. This timely edited collection
responds to some of the contemporary challenges faced by the
international protection regime, with a particular focus on the
human rights of those displaced. The book begins by assessing the
impact of anti-terrorism laws on refugee status, both at the
international and domestic levels, before turning to examine the
function of offshore immigration control mechanisms and
extraterritorial processing on asylum seekers' access to territory
and entitlements (both procedural and substantive). It considers
the particular needs and rights of children as forced migrants, but
also as children; the role of human rights law in protecting
religious minorities in the context of debates about national
identity; the approaches of refugee decision-makers in assessing
the credibility of evidence; and the scope for an international
judicial commission to provide consistent interpretative guidance
on refugee law, so as to overcome (or at least diminish) the
currently diverse and sometimes conflicting approaches of national
courts. The last part of the book examines the status of people who
benefit from 'complementary protection'-such as those who cannot be
removed from a country because they face a risk of torture or
cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment-and the scope
for the broader concept of the 'responsibility to protect' to
address gaps in the international protection regime.
