World Refugee Day Resources
June 20th is World Refugee Day. To mark the importance of this day we have made more than 30 book chapters, journal articles, and pieces of content from our online resources freely accessible to assist those working with refugees on the ground, as well as those who want to know more about the framework of rights and obligations concerning refugees.
The materials are structured around four key questions: who is a refugee, what rights do they have, what are transit states’ obligations, and what are the duties of the state where a refugee applies for asylum. All content is free to read until 31st August 2019. Other useful resources can be found at the bottom of the page.
