- The monograph examines the development of the Common European Asylum System, assessing its consistency with international human rights and humanitarian norms. The gradual upgrading of standards toward a uniform level of protection and reception stands is in marked contrast to the experience of seeking asylum in Europe. Asylum: A Right Denied further considers the future of the 1951 Refugee Convention and its foundational principle of non-refoulement in light of state failures and institutional inaction. These arguments appear particularly prescient as the death toll in the Mediterranean rises and external containment becomes the de facto model for refugee protection.
