Jewish Law, Roman Law, and the Accordance of Hospitality to Refugees and Climate-Change Migrants
This article examines Jewish law’s approach to forced migration. It explains the difference under Jewish law between forced migration brought about by disasters and the state of being a refugee—which is directly associated with war and armed conflict. It continues by demonstrating how these distinctions influenced the religious Jewish authors of the 1951 Refugee Convention. It concludes with the fundamental distinction between Jewish law and Roma…
The Law of Strangers
How Jewish is International Law
This study attempts to explain why so many East-Central European Jewish international jurists played such cardinal roles in the elaboration of some of the most important treaties of modern international law post World War II . Borrowing from the biographies of Jacob Robinson, Isaac Lewin, Hersch Lauterpacht, Georg Cohn and others who served as key drafters of treaties such as the 4th Geneva Convention for Civilians and the 1951 Refugee Convention…
Continents and civilizations
This chapter examines the intellectual weaknesses inherent in the constitution of the ‘continents’ as legitimate containers and the ‘civilizations’ as their respective content matters. Since classical antiquity, the terminological construction of geography has divided subject matters into two conceptual groupings: geographical containers and their ontological content matters. Containers are demarcated special realms. Civilizations, such as Wester…
Refugees and human displacement
The migration of humans between different world regions is inextricably intertwined with the very notion of human development since prehistory. Within this longue durée perspective, the identification of refugees as a distinct category of migrants has gradually come about, and was at least partially recognized as early as the sixteenth century. This chapter explores the interconnectedness between refugees and transregionalism, that is between the…
Seeking Asylum in Israel
Since 2005, approximately 70,000 asylum-seeking refugees from Sudan and Eritrea have entered Israel. This, along with the highly publicised anti-African immigrant riots in Israel in 2012 and 2014 and the current global refugee crisis, has meant that the issue of African migration has become increasingly controversial. Here Gilad Ben-Nun looks at this phenomenon in its historical and contemporary contexts, and compares it to the wider debates surr…
The Expansion of International Space
This article argues that “international space” indeed exists. It substantiates this claim by examining how the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees orchestrated the creation of its own Executive Committee. Originally envisaged as a Consultative Committee, High Commissioner Van Heuven Goedhart created the Executive Committee so as to break the ban upon the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees capacity to execute rescue operations…
From Ad Hoc to Universal
This article examines the scope of international instruments providing refugee protection, from the League of Nations, through the 1951 Refugee Convention, up to the 1954 Convention Relating to Stateless Persons. While the nature of the early instruments was ad hoc and tailored for specific refugee groups in geographically limited areas, the creation of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees marked a shift towards a global refugee regi…
The British-Jewish Roots of Non-Refoulement and its True Meaning for the Drafters of the 1951 Refugee Convention
This article examines the underlying intentions that guided the authors of Article 33, better known as the non-refoulement principle, of the 1951 Refugee Convention, from February 1950 until the signing of the Final Act in July 1951. I begin by explaining the diplomatic context within which the non-refoulement principle was inscribed into the text of the Convention, following the schism between the two opposing groups of member states present at …
