Download or read book Protection from Refuge written by Kate Ogg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-24 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The places in which refugees seek sanctuary are often as dangerous and bleak as the conditions they fled. In response, many travel within and across borders in search of safety. As part of these journeys, refugees are increasingly turning to courts to ask for protection, not from persecution in their homeland, but from a place of 'refuge'. This book is the first global and comparative study of 'protection from refuge' litigation, examining whether courts facilitate or hamper refugee journeys with a particular focus on gender. Drawing on jurisprudence from Africa, Europe, North America and Oceania, Kate Ogg shows that courts have transitioned from adopting robust ideas of refuge to rudimentary ones. This trajectory indicates that courts can play a powerful role in creating more just and equitable refugee protection policies, but have, ultimately, compounded the difficulties inherent in finding sanctuary, perpetuating global inequities in refugee responsibility and rendering refuge elusive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the Agreement represent avoidance or evasion of Canada's international obligations? Are such nuanced distinctions even appropriate in the domain of human rights - where the stakes are not money - but liberty, security and life itself? In the context of the Agreement, the relevance of these questions turns on the extent to which the protection that this Agreement allows Canada to withhold can. [...] 60 of the Immigration and Refugee Pro- tection Act affirms the principle that "a minor child shall be detained only as a measure of last resort, taking into account the other applicable grounds and criteria including the best interests of the child." The best interests of the child do not formally constrain migration-related deci- sions in the US. [...] The UNHCR now tentatively supports measures to "ensure an appropriate allocation of States responsibility for determining refuge status."29 The more contentious aspect of this seg- ment of the Preamble are the putative correla- tions between the Agreement and the "orderly handling of asylum applications," and between the Agreement and "burden sharing." The phrase "burden sharing" portrays refugees.

Download or read book Refugees Are Not Welcome Here written by Azar Masoumi and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State-controlled refugee protection in Canada has gone through paradoxical developments in recent decades. While refugee rights have expanded, access to these rights has tightened. Previously unrecognized groups – such as women experiencing gender-based violence and LGBT populations – are now considered legitimate refugees. Yet, the implementation of stringent administrative measures has made it harder for refugees to secure protection. Refugees Are (Not) Welcome Here draws on archival and media sources, interviews, and organizational data to examine how refugee claims are administered within a complex and contradictory regime that maintains significant legal and bureaucratic silos. Azar Masoumi explains why state-controlled refugee protection persists despite its many failures, not only in Canada but globally. This rigorous study deftly argues that the paradoxical interplay between refugee law and claim-processing bureaucracies is symptomatic of a larger illogic: reliance on the exclusivist mechanisms of the nation-state to ensure the universal application of rights. Ultimately, this book illuminates just how this paradox has turned refugee protection into an unfulfilled promise.

Download or read book Refuge beyond Reach written by David Scott FitzGerald and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refuge beyond Reach shows how rich democracies deliberately and systematically shut down most legal paths to safety. Media pundits, politicians, and the public are often skeptical or ambivalent about granting asylum. They fear that asylum-seekers will impose economic and cultural costs and pose security threats to nationals. Consequently, governments of rich, democratic countries attempt to limit who can approach their borders, which often leads to refugees breaking immigration laws. In Refuge beyond Reach, David Scott FitzGerald traces how rich democracies have deliberately and systematically shut down most legal paths to safety. Drawing on official government documents, information obtained via WikiLeaks, and interviews with asylum seekers, he finds that for ninety-nine percent of refugees, the only way to find safety in one of the prosperous democracies of the Global North is to reach its territory and then ask for asylum. FitzGerald shows how the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia comply with the letter of law while violating the spirit of those laws through a range of deterrence methods--first designed to keep out Jews fleeing the Nazis--that have now evolved into a pervasive global system of "remote control." While some of the most draconian remote control practices continue in secret, Fitzgerald identifies some pressure points and finds that a diffuse humanitarian obligation to help those in need is more difficult for governments to evade than the law alone. Refuge beyond Reach addresses one of the world's most pressing challenges--how to manage flows of refugees and other types of migrants--and helps to identify the conditions under which individuals can access the protection of their universal rights.
Download or read book A Right to Flee written by Phil Orchard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do states protect refugees? In the past twenty years, states have sought to limit access to asylum by increasing their border controls and introducing extraterritorial controls. Yet no state has sought to exit the 1951 Refugee Convention or the broader international refugee regime. This book argues that such international policy shifts represent an ongoing process whereby refugee protection is shaped and redefined by states and other actors. Since the seventeenth century, a mix of collective interests and basic normative understandings held by states created a space for refugees to be separate from other migrants. However, ongoing crisis events undermine these understandings and provide opportunities to reshape how refugees are understood, how they should be protected, and whether protection is a state or multilateral responsibility. Drawing on extensive archival and secondary materials, Phil Orchard examines the interplay among governments, individuals, and international organizations that has shaped how refugees are understood today.
Download or read book New Regionalism and Asylum Seekers written by Susan Kneebone and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the context of forced migration, this book addresses the role that regional, in contrast to national or global, institutions and relationships play in shaping asylum policies and procedures. It examines the causes of forced migration movements; the direction of forced migration flows and its effect upon the immediate region; policy responses towards forced migration (in particular ASEAN and the European Community); cooperative arrangements and agreements between regional states; and the protection of human rights. The book also considers the role that regional responses are likely to play in determining the direction of asylum policy in receiving states and procedures in the future.
