The Refugee in International Law / Edition 4

by Guy S. Goodwin-Gill, Jane McAdam

Overview

The Refugee in International Law is widely acknowledged to be the most authoritative discussion of this important and challenging subject. In this completely revised and updated eiditon, Professor Goodwin-Gill analyses all the major developments in the field of refugee law since the appearance of the first edition in 1983. This new edition will develop more fully the international law aspects of refugee problems, taking into account moves to forestall movements, as in the case of Northern Iraq, and to prevent the necessity for flight, which was the declared rationale for some at least of the international involvement in the former Yugoslavia.
