Protection challenges around the globe require innovative legal, policy and practical responses. Drawing primarily from a new generation of researchers in the field of refugee law, this volume explores the âboundariesâ of refugee law. On the one hand, it ascertains the scope of the legal provisions by highlighting new trends in State practice and analysing the jurisprudence of international human rights bodies, as well as national and international Courts. On the other hand, it marks the boundaries of refugee law as âlegal frontiersâ whilst exploring new approaches and new frameworks that are necessary in order to address the emerging protection challenges.
Jean-Pierre Gauci is director at The People for Change Foundation and Research Coordinator in International Law at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law. He holds a PhD in Law from Kingâs College London focusing on trafficking-based asylum claims.
