International Refugee Law and Socio-Economic Rights

More about the book

Emerging refugee claims challenge traditional distinctions between 'economic migrants' and 'political refugees,' highlighting the need for a nuanced understanding of socio-economic deprivation. The book explores how a creative interpretation of the Refugee Convention can address these complexities, arguing that many socio-economic claims should be recognized under its framework. As the first work to tackle these issues, it offers valuable insights for scholars, advocates, decision-makers, and NGOs involved in refugee law.
