Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-274) and index.
Evolution of complementary protection -- The European Union Qualification Directive: the creation of a subsidiary protection regime -- An alternative asylum mechanism: the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment -- The scope of ill-treatment under the ECHR and ICCPR -- Protection and 'the best interests of the child'-the Convention on the Rights of the Child -- The legal status of persons to whom the Refugee Convention does not apply.
"This book provides a comprehensive analysis of complementary protection, from its historical development through to its contemporary application. By examining the human rights foundations of the Convention, the architecture of Convention rights, regional examples of complementary protection,and principles of non-discrimination, the book argues that the Convention acts as a type of lex specialis for persons in need of international protection, providing a specialized blueprint for legal status, irrespective of the legal source of the protection obligation."--Publisher description.
