This book appears at a time of intense debate on how states should respond to refugees: some philosophers argue states are not necessarily obligated to admit a single refugee, others argue states should continually admit refugees until the point of societal collapse. Some politicians argue for increasing refugee resettlement, others seek to prevent refugees from arriving at the border. Some countries provide expansive welcome schemes and have taken in over a million refugees, others have erected concrete walls and barbed wire fences.
The Ethics of State Responses to Refugees provides an account of what an ethical response would be by developing an understanding of the moral duties that states have towards refugees. The first half of the book analyses state practices used in response to refugees, to understand the negative duties of states not to harm or violate the rights of innocent refugees. The second half analyses morally significant features of contemporary refugee displacement, to understand the positive duties of states to alleviate the distinctive harms and injustices that refugees face. The two halves together thereby outline the negative and positive duties of states towards refugees which together constitute the elements of an ethical response. The book then demonstrates this ethical response is not only urgently required but is also within reach.

"In this important book, Bradley Hillier-Smith offers a philosophically sharp critique of what he identifies as the dominant 'Duty of Rescue Approach' to understanding Northern states' ethical obligations towards refugees. From this critique, he builds an insightful analysis and vision of such states' negative and positive obligations in this context. At a time when political debates surrounding asylum and refugee protection are highly polarised and refugee rights are under threat, Hillier-Smith's rigorous work will be a key source for anyone interested in what a fully ethical response to refugees would look like." -- James Souter, Lecturer in Political Theory and International Politics and author of Asylum as Reparation
