The Peregrination of a Persecuted Human Being in Search of a Safe Haven

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It is not often acknowledged that the great majority of African refugee movement happens within Africa rather than from Africa to the West. This book examines the specific characteristics and challenges of the asylum-seeker and the refugee situation in Africa in order to set out a new and critical vision about the situation of asylum-seekers and refugees in the African continent. The book considers the international, regional and domestic legal and institutional frameworks linked to refugee protection in Sub-Saharan Africa and a number of issues specific to the region.
