Refugees: Human Rights Have No Borders

"This comprehensive report offers an overview of current refugees issues worldwide, background information on international refugee and human rights law, a wide variety of well-researched case histories and key arguments for refugee advocates". Although this report is from 1997, it still provides a good introduction to refugee issues. Amnesty identifies in its conclusions that the refugee crisis cannot be solved unless human rights are respected and calls on governments to fulfill their human rights obligations under international law. The report also recognizes the different challenges facing refugee women, particularly if fleeing violence from within the home. [Descriptors: Migration - Refugees and Immigration, International]
