Protection from Refuge : From Refugee Rights to Migration Management Paperback / softback
by Kate (Australian National University, Canberra) Ogg
Part of the Cambridge Asylum and Migration Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
