A sign of precarity or protection? Understanding the role of evacuations from disasters in international protection claims
This article examines the role that evacuations from disasters play in international protection claims, arguing that they should be understood not only as potentially life-saving interventions but also as actions that may reveal, generate, or compound risk. Although evacuations are commonly framed as temporary, protective responses to imminent hazards, they are also a form of displacement that can entrench precarity, particularly for those alread…
Après le déluge: Evolving approaches to international protection in the context of climate change and disasters
The opening paragraph of Sir John Hope Simpson’s 1939 survey of ‘the refugee problem’ explains that ‘[r]efugee movements arising from natural disasters such as earthquake or flood have been excluded from this inquiry, which has been limited to those due to political and social catastrophes’ consequent to the First World War.1 This qualification provides two interesting insights which still resonate today. First, by expressly caveating his study i…
The twice displaced: UNHCR’s role in evacuations
This article explores when, why, and how the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) engages in evacuations. Despite being a longstanding practice of the organization and its predecessors, evacuations remain underexamined both as a concept and a protection tool. While evacuations can be life-saving, they can also create further risks. They can provide people with temporary protection but also leave them in limbo. They can enable som…
International Protection for People Displaced across Borders in the context of Climate Change and Disasters: A Practical Toolkit
Evacuations as Displacement: Conceptual and Legal Challenges
This article seeks to conceptualise evacuations as a form of human mobility. Although evacuations represent a large proportion of annual global “displacement” in official figures, they are rarely analysed as such and instead tend to be viewed positively as a form of rescue – saving lives by moving people away from danger. By reorienting the orthodox starting point for evacuations – the “rescue” paradigm – this article hypothesises that while evac…

Will International Refugee Law Still Be Relevant in 2033
Time’ in Refugee Status Determination in Australia and the United Kingdom: A Clear and Present Danger from Armed Conflict
‘Time’ plays an important role in refugee status determination (RSD) because whilst fear must be current, the fear relates to present or future risk. This article examines the role of time in RSD and how time impacts upon the granting of refugee protection. Thus it concentrates on the test of a ‘well-founded fear’ in article 1A(2) of the Refugee Convention. Claims from persons fleeing armed conflict raise particular challenges because of the flui…
Moving beyond Refugee Law: Putting Principles on Climate Mobility into Practice
It was a sunny Sydney afternoon in late 2006 when the phone call came through from a community radio station. Would I do an interview about ‘environmental refugees’? Sure, that’s easy, I thought. There’s no such thing. As an international refugee lawyer, my touchstone was the 1951 Refugee Convention. As we know, on its face, people fleeing environmental impacts don’t meet the definition of a refugee. Furthermore, a number of court cases over the …
Analysis of ‘Imminence’ in International Protection Claims: Teitiota v New Zealand and Beyond
The UN Human Rights Committee's finding in Teitiota v New Zealand has garnered widespread global attention for its recognition that the effects of climate change may put people's lives at risk or expose them to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, thus triggering States’ non-refoulement obligations. However, a secondary—and highly problematic—consequence of the decision has been its confusing and misplaced focus on ‘imminence’ of harm. This ref…
Exploring the Legal Basis in Australia for Evacuations from Disasters: Avoiding Arbitrary Displacement
The summer of 2019–20 saw Australia’s largest ever peacetime evacuation, as bushfires threatened homes, communities and lives. In 2022, thousands of people were evacuated from catastrophic floods in northern New South Wales and Queensland. As climate change amplifies the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, evacuations are likely to become increasingly common. Yet, while evacuations can protect people from imminent danger, they can a…

The Concept of “International Protection” in the Global Compacts on Refugees and Migration
The adoption in 2018 of two Global Compacts, one on Refugees and the other on Migration, has reinvigorated longstanding debates about the distinction between these two groups. On the one hand, differentiating between the two is crucial to ensuring that people forced to leave their homes are not removed to any place where they face a real risk of persecution or other serious harm. On the other hand, drawing a hard line between them does not reflec…
Welcome a Board
In 2020, in consultation with Oxford University Press, we decided to expand and diversify the composition of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Refugee Law. The Board has existed since the journal was founded in 1989 and has always been a mix of academics and practitioners from across the globe. Our aim was to increase its composition and reach. With existing Board terms up for periodic review, we first ascertained who was able t…
Special Issues to Commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees
2021 marks the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Refugee Convention. Together with the 1967 Protocol, the Refugee Convention is an enduring instrument of protection that has assisted millions of refugees over many decades. It has been complemented by the evolution of human rights law over time, yet retains a distinct and significant purpose in providing a legal status for refugees, underpinned by fundamental protective principles. Despite t…
Can we still call Australia home? The right to return and the legality of Australia’s Covid-19 travel restrictions
In the two years since Australia logged its first COVID-19 case and sealed its borders, thousands of citizens and permanent residents were locked out. Despite having a formal right to return, their ability to come home was hampered by a ‘one size fits all’ approach to hotel quarantine, travel caps linked to state/territory capacity, and a lack of federal facilities. This article examines the legality of Australia’s entry controls in light of inte…
Refugee Protection in the Covid-19 Crisis and Beyond: The Capacity and Limits of International Law
The current pandemic and concomitant framework of crisis has led to unprecedented restrictions on global movement, and hence on the ability of refugees to seek protection. These measures have been implemented as a matter of urgency on account of the immediacy of the public health challenge, yet risk violating international refugee and human rights law. This experience provides an opportunity to reflect on an equally compelling, although less immi…

OUP accepted manuscript
Evacuations are a recognised form of displacement but have been largely overlooked in the forced migration literature. This is curious, given that many of the 33.4 million new internal displacements in 2019 were pre-emptive evacuations. This article examines the nature of evacuations in the context of disasters and climate change and suggests some reasons for the research gap. One reason may be the lack of clarity between pre-emptive evacuations,…

Imminence in Refugee and Human Rights Law: A Misplaced Notion for International Protection
This article is an output of a major research project examining the notion of imminence in the law on international protection. It is the first piece of scholarship to identify an emerging trend, namely the introduction of imminence—whether invoked implicitly or explicitly—as a potential barrier to refugee status or complementary protection. The article analyses the jurisprudence of relevant international bodies and courts and critiques the valid…
The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement: 20 Years On
In the 20 years since the adoption of the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement,1 there has been a considerable shift in how the world’s displaced people are conceptualized and assisted. Recognition that internally displaced persons (IDPs) constitute the largest number of displaced people globally – far exceeding the number of refugees – has resulted from new methodologies for identifying and analysing displaced populations, shaped by the u…

International Cooperation and Responsibility-Sharing to Protect Refugees: What, Why and How
While countries that receive refugees have certain legal obligations to assist and protect them, the legal duties of other States to step in and help relieve this burden is less clear.

The UN's High-Level Summit on Addressing Large Movements of Refugees on 19 September 2016 held…
The Right to Asylum: Britain's 1905 Aliens Act and the Evolution of Refugee Law
From the 1880s, states and self-governing colonies in North and South America, across Australasia, and in southern Africa began introducing laws to regulate the entry of newly defined “undesirable immigrants.” This was a trend that intensified exclusionary powers originally passed in the 1850s to regulate Chinese migration, initially in the context of the gold rushes in California and the self-governing colony of Victoria in Australia. The entry …

Historical Cross-Border Relocations in the Pacific: Lessons for Planned Relocations in the Context of Climate Change
Perennial discussions arise about relocating whole Pacific Island communities because of the impacts of climate change. The relocation of Pacific communities to other countries is generally assumed to be a novel, futuristic idea. Yet in the mid-20th century, three such cross-border movements in the Pacific occurred, with at least another three mooted but not carried out. This paper focuses principally on the 1945 Banaban relocation from present-d…
Seeking Asylum under the Convention on the Rights of the Child: A case for Complementary Protection
This chapter shows that the best interests of the child, reflecting an absolute principle of international law, are highly relevant in determining whether or not a child needs international protection. The 1924 Declaration of the Rights of the Child was the first international instrument exclusively to address the special needs of children, and the 1946 I.R.O. Accompanied children's protection claims are typically subsumed in the 'primary' applic…

This article provides an account of attempts at the inter- national level to develop a normative framework relating to climate change and migration from late 2010 to mid- 2013. It traces the “catalytic effect” of paragraph 14(f) of the Cancún Adaptation Framework (adopted in December 2010), through to the concerted, but ultimately unsuccessful effort of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in 2011 to get states to agree to th…
The Duty to Move People Out of Harm’s Way in the Context of Climate Change and Disasters
Experience shows that both sudden- and slow-onset disasters can result in displacement. Indeed, disasters now account for the largest number of newly displaced people each year - more than violence or conflict. At times, areas of land may be rendered too unsafe for continued human habitation, requiring evacuations or planned relocations of affected people. In fact, several countries are already in the process of moving, or considering moving, peo…

Complementary Protection in International Refugee Law
This book considers the legal obligations countries have to people who do not meet the legal definition of a ‘refugee’, but who have been forcibly displaced from their homes. This is known as ‘complementary protection’, because it complements the central international instrument in this area, the 1951 Refugee Convention. Chapter 1 identifies pre-1951 examples of complementary protection, demonstrating how the content of the status afforded to ext…
International Migration Law: Developing Paradigms and Key Challenges
The ‘asylum–migration nexus’ is a buzzword of contemporary international policy, flagging the sometimes blurry line between traditional forms of migration (economic, educational, family) and forced migration. That line, and the premise on which it is based – namely, a dichotomous conceptualization of migration as either voluntary or coerced – risks obscuring the inherently complex and multifaceted reasons that may prompt people to move or to stay…
European Asylum Law and International Law
The European Union's creation of a Common European Asylum System (CEAS) may be viewed either as a noble attempt to harmonize, streamline and simplify the application of rules concerning the qualification, reception and processing of asylum seekers and refugees, or as an elaborate, strategic and piecemeal adaptation of international norms to a specific regional context. What is certain, though, is that in standardizing the various legal responses …

Swimming against the Tide: Why a Climate Change Displacement Treaty is Not the Answer
Drawing on field work in Tuvalu, Kiribati and Bangladesh, this article argues that advocacy for a new treaty to address climate change-related movement is presently misplaced for a number of reasons. The article does not deny the real impacts that climate change is already having on communities, nor that migration is a normal adaptive response to such change. Rather, it queries the utility – and, importantly, the policy consequences – of pinning …
Climate Change, Forced Migration, and International Law
Displacement caused by climate change is an area of growing concern. With current rises in sea levels and changes to the global climate, it is an issue of fundamental importance to the future of many parts of the world.

Drawing on fi…
