Climate-Induced Displacement and the International Protection of Forced Migrants
In coming years, scores of millions of people will be forced from their homes because of the effects of the climate crisis and other environmental events. While there is general recognition that those displaced by climate events merit assistance and protection, the existing international refugee regime does not provide an adequate framework for action. This article proposes an approach that focuses on the fact of displacement due to the climate c…
Refugee protection
Policymakers in states of the Global North are in the privileged position of having a genuine ethical choice concerning whether to devote their resources to providing refugee protection in their territory (e.g. by enabling safe passage of refugees to their borders and offering generous resettlement opportunities) or to prioritise resourcing refugee protection in the Global South. For these policymakers the question ‘Should we protect refugees her…
The Arc of Protection
The international refugee regime is fundamentally broken. Designed in the wake of World War II to provide protection and assistance, the system is unable to address the record numbers of persons displaced by conflict and violence today. States have put up fences and adopted policies to deny, deter, and detain asylum seekers. People recognized as refugees are routinely denied rights guaranteed by international law. The results are dismal for the m…

The Unfinished Work of the Global Compact on Refugees
Toward a Global System of Human Mobility
Migration is already a significant global phenomenon, and it is likely to become more so. According to a recent World Bank report , there are two hundred million international migrants. The study reports that “migration pressures” will continue “for the foreseeable future.” It will take “decades” to close income gaps between developed and developing countries; in 2015, the ratio between the average income of the high-income countries and that of …

The Meaning of ‘Persecution’ in United States Asylum Law
A review of existing adjudicatory practice in asylum claims in the United States suggests that too much emphasis is placed on the applicant identifying the specific cause of persecution. Decision-makers ought rather to pay primary attention to the question, whether the applicant will face serious and unacceptable risks to life or liberty if returned home. Several principles appear to guide Board of Immigration Appeals' (BIA) interpretations; firs…

Federal Regulation of Aliens and the Constitution
In two cases decided in the afterglow of the centennial of the U.S. Constitution, the Supreme Court said nearly everything the modern lawyer needs to know about the source and extent of Congress’s power to regulate immigration. The cases sustained the constitutionality of the first significant congressional restrictions on immigration—the shameful Chinese exclusion laws. Constitutional analysis of the immigration power has yet to shed the origina…
