The international instruments relating to the protection and rights of refugees are the significant development of international human rights regimes. In this book, entitled International Refugee Law: Practice and Procedure, authors identity the status of refugees, examine their rights and privileges under the unnecessary circumstances, and analyse the obligations of states providing protection and assistance to them. As an interdisciplinary subject, the international refugee law also addresses several other issues such as immediate humanitarian assistance, state sovereignty, international relations, and international migration law and policy. The book is divided into eight chapters exploring, inter alia, the criterion for determining refugee status, fundamental principles of international refugee law minimum standards of treatment and the obligations of states to provide protection as well as assistance under international law. The recognition and protection of refugees from the Islamic perspective is also featured in this book. All those concerned, particularly to the whole legal and non-legal community such as members of the Malaysian Bench and Bar, academics, students, and others will find this book a valuable aid for a good understanding of the subject. The readers would get insightful ideas on all the aspects of refugee protection under the refugee conventions as well as other international human rights regimes without having to refer to several sources.
