This book examines the link between refugee protection, duration of
risk and residency rights. It focuses on two main issues of
importance to current state practice: the use of temporary forms of
refugee status and residency and the legal criteria for cessation
of refugee status under Article 1C(5) of the 1951 Refugee
Convention. In analysing this issue, this book canvasses debates
which are pertinent to many other contentious areas of refugee law,
including the relationship between the refugee definition and
complementary protection, application of the Refugee Convention in
situations of armed conflict, and the role of non-state bodies as
actors of protection. It also illustrates some of the central
problems with the way in which the 1951 Refugee Convention is
implemented domestically in key asylum host states. The arguments
put forward in this book have particular significance for the
return of asylum seekers and refugees to situations of ongoing
conflict and post-conflict situations and is therefore highly
pertinent to the future development of international refugee law.

This timely volume seeks to examine two of the most pertinent
current challenges faced by asylum seekers in gaining access to
international refugee protection: first, the obstacles to physical
access to territory and, second, the barriers to accessing a
quality asylum procedure - which the editors have termed 'access to
justice'. To address these aims, the book brings together leading
commentators from a range of backgrounds, including law, sociology
and political science. It also includes contributions from NGO
practitioners. This allows the collection to offer
interdisciplinary analysis and to incorporate both theoretical and
practical perspectives on questions of immense contemporary
significance. While the examination offers a strong focus on
European legal and policy developments, the book also addresses the
issues in different regions (Europe, North America, the Middle
East, Africa and Australia). Given the currency of the questions
under debate, this book will be essential reading for all scholars
in the field of asylum law.
