Complementary Protection and Beyond: How States Deal with Human Rights Protection

Submitted by rrn-owner on Wed, 2011/07/27 - 17:23

This paper outlines the grounds on which people may claim complementary protection in the European Union, United States and Canada, and the appeal processes available at each stage of the determination process. It also sets out additional types of claims that may be made, such as humanitarian and compassionate claims, although these do not technically constitute complementary protection since they are not based on States' international legal obligations.

Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Policy in Europe

Submitted by rrn-owner on Wed, 2011/07/27 - 17:23

The number of refugees worldwide is now 12 million, up from 3 million in the early 1970s. And the number seeking asylum in the developed world increased tenfold, from about 50,000 per annum to half a million over the same period. Governments and international agencies have grappled with the twin problems of providing adequate humanitarian assistance in the Third World and avoiding floods of unwanted asylum seekers arriving on the doorsteps of the First World. This is an issue that is long on rhetoric, as newspaper reports testify, but surprisingly short on economic analysis.
