Product description

The book serves as an authority on current Canadian refugee law, which is based on the definition of refugee status contained in the United Nations’ 1951 Refugee Convention and the United Nations Convention Against Torture. With thousands of applicable cases synthesized, this publication is an indispensable manual for immigration lawyers and consultants, as well as paralegals and government policy advisors.

- The interpretation of the exclusion clauses in Ezokola and Febles and Mugesera
- The clarification of Article 1 E , state protection, the internal flight alternative and nexus to the definition of Convention Refugee.
- The incorporation into Canadian Immigration Law of the protections of the Convention Against Torture through the introduction of section 97 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
