The Refugees Convention 50 years on : globalisation and international law
Edited by Susan Kneebone
Published by Ashgate (2003)

Book description

The authors of the essays in this collection, all internationally recognised refugee scholars and practitioners, look at the controversial 'hot' topic of refugee rights. They consider whether, 50 years after its agreement, the Refugees' Convention can provide an adequate framework for protection. In particular, the authors address the effect of globalisation upon the human rights of asylum seekers and refugees, the efficacy of the Convention as an instrument of International Law, the role of the UNHCR, whether NGOs are effective instruments for change, nationality and citizenship issues, and
consider alternatives and options for solutions to the global refugee problem. Contributing to constructive dialogue and debate on the issue, the volume will be invaluable for scholars, practitioners and officials working in this area.
