Refugee displacement has been one of the most pressing challenges
confronting states this century. Regrettably it is expected to be so in
the coming century as well. EU states, through the 1992 Maastricht and
1997 Amsterdam treaties, have put the issue of a common European asylum
policy and practice very high on their politico-legal agenda.
This book focuses on the most crucial and complex aspect of asylum that
a future co-ordinated EU policy, and especially domestic judicial
praxis, will face, that is, the application/interpretation of the
refugee inclusion clauses. Through a critical comparative research in
contemporary refugee case law from the United Kingdom, France and the
Federal Republic of Germany the author attempts to highlight the
strengths and weaknesses of contemporary refugee jurisprudence, and
especially the lack of a solid, principled interpretation by asylum fora
based on binding principles and norms of contemporary international
human rights law. A principled methodology is what the present study
endeavours to put forward and propose to domestic fora whose importance
in the present and future refugee protection process has wrongly been,
until now, underestimated.
This monograph will be of valuable assistance to everyone active in the
fields of (international) human rights, immigration and refugee law,
and/or interested in the EU plans for harmonization of substantive
refugee law and practice.
