Product description
Review
'… a major event … The long wait is over, and all working or studying in this area of law can begin to use and benefit from this book's many insights, and to mine the rich seams of source materials contained in its footnotes.' Hugo Storey, International Journal of Refugee Law
'As with the first edition, and with acuity rare in the world of academic writing, the text displays an uncanny knack of identifying the really important issues of the era, before providing insightful analysis that simply demands attention from any serious advocate or principled decision maker.' Mark Symes, freemovement.org.uk
'… this book is bound to become an authoritative reference on the law relative to the determination of refugee status on the basis of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees ('Refugee Convention').' Benoit Mayer, Chinese Journal of International Law
'For practitioners it is invaluable in that The Law of Refugee Status offers a comprehensive normative framework for interpreting the refugee definition through the prism of case law. This is, in a way, the book's most unique characteristic. While not only useful as a reference tool, it also represents the authors' synthesis of a complex and vast body of jurisprudence that has developed to respond to everevolving social realities and legal contexts in which refugees find themselves.' Radha Govil and Alexandra McDowa, Australian Year Book of International Law

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseExtremadamente útil para estudiantes o estudiosos del area de derechos humanos y principalmente del derecho internacional de los refugiados
- Humming birdReviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 November 2014
5.0 out of 5 stars in-depth but at the same time elegant outline of contemporary refugee law
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseFascinating, the book has been significantly revised since the First edition and is now a truly comprehensive research of contemporary issues in refugee law. Hathaway’s language is, as always, very colorful and hitting the target in the most elegant way.
The selection of case law is the most up-to-date and authoritative.
Highly recommended for refugee law judges, practitioners, academia, students, and general public wishing to receive a thorough, in-depth but at the same time elegant outline of contemporary refugee law.
