This book explores the increasing concern over the extent to which
those suffering from forced cross-border displacement as a result
of environmental change are protected under international human
rights law. Formally they are not entitled to admission or stay in
a third state country, a situation that has been identified as an
international "legal protection gap". The book seeks to provide
answers to two basic questions: whether and to what extent existing
international law protects cross-border environmental displacement,
and whether and how existing formalized regional complementary
protection standards can interpretively solidify and conceptualize
protection for cross-border environmental displacement. The
discussion outlines that the protection of the human person is not
only an ex post facto obligation of states, but must be
increasingly seen as an ex ante one. The analysis further suggests
that the European Union regionally orientated protection regime can
help states to consolidate an evolving protection paradigm of
proactive and reactive measures being erected at the international
level. It can also narrow the identified legal protection gaps. In
so doing, it helps states to reconceptualise protection as a
holistic and dynamic enterprise. This book will be of great
interest to academics in law, political science and human rights,
policy makers and civil society organisations both at national and
international level.
