Description
The Refugee in International Law is widely acknowledged to be the most authoritative discussion of this important and challenging subject. In this completely revised and updated edition, Professor Goodwin-Gill analyses all the major developments in the field of refugee law since the appearance of the first edition in 1983. This new edition will develop more fully the international law aspects of refugee problems, taking into account moves to forestall movements, as in the case of Northern Iraq, and to prevent the necessity for flight, which was the declared rationale for some at least of the international involvement in the former Yugoslavia.

Editorial Reviews
''the second edition has replaced its predecessor as the most authoritative text available on international refugee law.'' Refugee Reports
''important book...this reviewer suspects that the Professor's book will be read long after the 1996 legislation has been superseded!...It is a thoughtful and comprehensive treatise and illustrates profound and careful scholarship. All those involved in refugee law would do well to read it. They will not be disappointed.'' Immigration and Nationality Law and Practice
