- Title
- Whatever happened to the right of asylum?
- Author(s)
- Neumann, Klaus
- Abstract
- The tragic events at Christmas Island this week are a reminder of the importance of the right to seek asylum. But the debate about refugees and asylum seekers is confused by a misunderstanding of the origins of the 1951 Refugee Convention, writes Klaus Neumann.
