"This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of the human rights of refugees as set by the UN Refugee Convention... Hathaway links the standards of the UN Refugee Convention to key norms of international human rights law, and applies his analysis to the world's most difficult protection challenges. This is a critical resource for advocates, judges, and policymakers. It will also be a pioneering scholarly work for graduate students of international and human rights law."--Publisher's website.
