Introduction -- Background -- The applicable legal framework -- The African charter and the protection of refugees -- Access to justice : the right of asylum seekers and refugees to lodge individual complaints -- Protection techniques -- Case studies.
"The use of international human rights machinery to protect refugees has acquired an important dimension in recent years. This is true of both the United Nations treaty body system and the African, European and Inter-American regional systems of human rights. The result is a dynamic international invigoration of traditional refugee law that, in contradistinction, tends to be applied at the level of national courts and tribunals. Yet the precise role of human rights in the protection of refugees is sometimes viewed with suspicion and uncertainty. This commentary provides a valuable insight into the use of human rights in the protection of refugees through the prism of the African Human Rights System"--P. [4] of cover.
