Description
Refugee Law by Colin Yeo provides a comprehensive exploration of international refugee law, drawing on the UN Refugee Convention of 1951. This concise and engaging guide covers key concepts such as well-founded fear, persecution, and state responses to refugee claims. Colin Yeo's experience as an immigration barrister informs his approach to explaining the present-day legal framework for global refugee protection. The book includes studies of significant legal cases, reviews the successes and failures of the Convention, and looks ahead to the future, considering the impact of climate change and the Global Compact on Refugees. Suitable for students, lawyers, and non-specialists alike, Refugee Law offers a clear and approachable explanation of important legal concepts.
