Routledge Asylum-Seeker and Refugee Protection in Africa Book

Most discussions regarding African refugee movement focus on migration to the West, but the majority of movement actually happens within the African continent. This book by Cristiano d'Orsi provides a necessary and critical perspective on the realities faced by asylum-seekers and refugees in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through a detailed examination of international, regional, and domestic legal frameworks, this work explores the institutional structures that govern refugee protection. It looks at the specific challenges unique to the Sub-Saharan region and examines how African protection efforts contribute to the global cause of human rights and migration law. Ideal for students, legal professionals, and researchers, this volume offers a new vision of the refugee situation. It moves beyond common misconceptions to provide a grounded analysis of the legal and institutional landscapes that shape the lives of persecuted individuals seeking safe havens within Africa.
