The impact of violence and conflict on refugee protection is increasingly relevant to practitioners, governmental decision-makers and judges, scholars, students and international and non-governmental organizations. This book is a timely contribution to the legal literature dealing with international refugee law in respect of asylum claimants.
The impact of violence and conflict on refugee status determination and international protection is a key developing field. Given the contemporary dynamics of armed conflict, how to interpret and apply the refugee definitions at global and regional levels is increasingly relevant to governmental policy-makers, decision-makers, legal practitioners, academics and students. This book will provide a comprehensive analysis of the global and regional refugee instruments as they apply to claimants in flight from situations of armed violence and conflict, exploring their interrelationship and how they are interpreted and applied (or should be applied). As part of a broader United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees project to develop guidelines on the interpretation and application of international refugee law instruments to claimants fleeing armed conflict and other situations of violence, it includes contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in this field as well as emerging authors with specific expertise.

Volker Türk is United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees's Assistant High Commissioner for Protection. Alice Edwards is Head of the Secretariat of the Convention against Torture Initiative. Cornelis Wouters is the senior refugee law advisor at the Division of International Protection of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva.
