At a time when many around the world are fleeing their homes,
seeking refugee protection has become a game of chance. Partly to
blame is the law that governs how refugee status decision-makers
resolve their doubts. This long-neglected branch of refugee law has
been growing in the dark, with little guidance from the Refugee
Convention and little attention from scholars. By looking closely
at the Canadian jurisprudence, Hilary Evans Cameron provides the
first full account of what this law is trying to accomplish in a
refugee hearing. She demonstrates how a hole in the law's normative
foundations is contributing to the dysfunction of one of the
world's most respected refugee determination systems, and may well
be undermining refugee protection across the globe. The author uses
her findings to propose a new legal model of refugee status
decision-making.
