This Handbook produced by UNHCR is a comprehensive resource for interpreting the 1951 Refugee Convention and the Additional Protocol. The document focuses primarily on the strict legal interpretation and reviews each article of the Convention and the Protocol. Although there are limited specific references to women, the Handbook is a useful tool and can be used in conjunction with the Guidelines on the Protection of Refugee Women.
