International Protection for Criminals: To Grant or Not to Grant? Lessons from Australia, Belgium, and Canada International Journal of Refugee Law (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-09 Júlia Zomignani Barboza
Refugee law requires States to protect those who may face persecution in their country of origin. This protection, however, is not extended to those who, because of their acts, are considered to be undeserving of it. Similarly, the 1951 Refugee Convention allows the return to persecution of those who are considered a danger to the host country’s community. International human rights law, however, forbids

Constitutionalizing Protection for Refugee Women and Girls in South Asia International Journal of Refugee Law (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2024-07-12 Roshni Shanker
The South Asian region remains an epicentre of forced migration. Women comprise about half the region’s refugee population, and many are traumatized by sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) experienced in their countries of origin and during flight. The 1951 Refugee Convention is not well ratified in the region and few States have developed domestic asylum laws, relying instead on ad hoc policies

Financial Crimes as ‘Serious Non-Political Crimes’: Consequences for the Concepts of Seriousness and Unworthiness in Exclusion Law International Journal of Refugee Law (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2024-05-13 Juliette Guiot
Financial crimes were recently recognized by the Conseil d’État, France’s supreme administrative court, as ‘serious non-political crimes’ for the purposes of exclusion under article 1F(b) of the Refugee Convention. Such an extension of the scope of article 1F(b) raises questions regarding the seriousness threshold of article 1F(b) and its link to bodily harm. A first approach would be to establish

Aligning United States Law with International Norms Would Remove Major Barriers to Protection in Gender Claims International Journal of Refugee Law (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2024-04-23 Karen Musalo
The protection of women and girls fleeing gender-based harms has been controversial in the United States (US), with advances followed by setbacks. The US interpretation of particular social group and its nexus analysis, both of which diverge from guidance by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), is the most significant barrier to protection. It has become almost impossible for

Pushed to Breaking Point? The Prohibition of ‘Constructive’ or ‘Disguised’ Refoulement under International Law International Journal of Refugee Law (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-20 Tilman Rodenhäuser
The cornerstone of international refugee law is the principle of non-refoulement, which protects refugees, asylum seekers, and other persons with protection needs from being returned against their will to a place where they risk facing persecution or other fundamental rights violations. A person who is protected against refoulement may, however, return voluntarily. Determining when such returns are

The European Union (EU) has historically been a proactive player in advancing equality between women and men, and fighting gender-based discrimination. The past two decades have also seen the EU becoming a major actor in asylum law, with several EU secondary law instruments and a large amount of case law in EU Member States relating to the application of the 1951 Refugee Convention. Yet, these two

This article argues that the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) is not only a breakthrough for a rights-based approach in international migration governance but also an asset to the international protection system.

‘There should be equality in opinions’: Political Opinion in Intimate Partner Violence Claims International Journal of Refugee Law (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2023-12-26 Adrienne Anderson
There is longstanding acceptance that opposition to discrimination against women and/or non-conformity with prevailing gender norms may constitute a political opinion in refugee law. However, courts have not consistently taken an expansive view of political opinion in gender cases. In particular, notwithstanding the global prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV), there is little jurisprudential

Understanding the role of external actors is essential to understanding the United Kingdom’s (UK) securitization agenda in the field of asylum.

Rape Myths in the European Court of Human Rights’ Non-Refoulement Case Law on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence International Journal of Refugee Law (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2023-12-01 Lore Roels
The criminal justice and the refugee/human rights systems operate within different procedural and substantive frameworks. However, analysis of the European Court of Human Rights’ case law reveals a significant parallel between the two, namely judges’ acceptance of ‘rape myths’ in making their decisions.

As a non-signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, Saudi Arabia is often portrayed as a State that refuses engagement with the global legal norms and supporting institutions focused on the protection of refugees. This article contends that this is not the case, and closely examines Saudi Arabia’s relationship with the international refugee regime by asking what was Saudi Arabia’s

This mixed-methods study analyses a sample of 303 rejections of refugee claims by Canadian refugee status adjudicators.

Human rights violations in the context of migration deals have received considerable attention, especially when it comes to more frequently explored human rights such as the principle of non-refoulement, the right to life, and the prohibition on torture.

In refugee matters concerning sexual orientation, ‘discretion’ reasoning is as commonplace as it is unlawful. In its 2013 ruling in X, Y, and Z, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) declared that it was unreasonable to expect that asylum seekers should conceal their sexual orientation by being ‘discreet’ in order to avoid persecution, and that such a requirement in domestic refugee status

Constructing Equality in EU Asylum Law International Journal of Refugee Law (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2022-03-23 Stefan Salomon
The view that subsidiary protection status is a lesser form of protection than refugee status is widespread among European Union (EU) Member States’ asylum authorities and courts. This view is based on the assumption that the protection needs of beneficiaries of subsidiary protection are of shorter duration than those of refugees.

The Human Rights Approach to ‘Persecution’ and Its Child Rights Discontents International Journal of Refugee Law (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2021-09-30 Ciara Smyth
The longstanding debate in refugee law about the meaning of persecution has been largely resolved in favour of the human rights approach – the idea that basic human rights serve as an objective yardstick for evaluating whether a particular act might constitute persecution. However, the human rights approach produces several dilemmas, not least the question of which human rights are ‘basic’ human rights
