This book is an exciting new contribution to the field of refugee law and human rights law. It considers the legal obligations which countries have to people who do not meet the legal definition of a 'refugee', but who have nonetheless been forcibly displaced from their homes. This is known as 'complementary protection', as it complements the central international instrument in this area: the 1951 Refugee Convention. The work analyses international human rights law to discern where such legal obligations to protect may arise, and considers the legal status that countries ought to provide such people. This is the first dedicated study on 'complementary protection'. |
