Complementary protection in international refugee law / Jane McAdam. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, c2007. - xxxvii, 283 p. ; 25 cm. - Oxford monographs in international law .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"This is the first dedicated study on 'complementary protection' - the protection afforded by States to persons who need international protection but fall outside the legal definition of a refugee in article 1A(2) of the 1951 Refugee Convention. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of complementary protection, from its historical development through to its contemporary application. By examining the human rights foundations of the Convention, the architecture of Convention rights, regional examples of complementary protection, and principles of non-discrimination, the book argues that the Convention acts as a type of lex specialis for persons in need of international protection, providing a specialized blueprint for legal status, irrespective of the legal source of the protection obligation."-- Book jacket.
