This volume examines judicial decisions that have shaped the law of asylum and refugee protection. Each chapter analyses a single judicial decision and locates it in a wider legal, political and policy context, tracing its subsequent impact on refugee law and policy. Some of the decisions analysed in this collection were foundational in establishing the reach of refugee law, particularly in defining the scope of the refugee definition. Others engage with key areas of refugee rights in contexts which indicate a critical turning point in state refugee policy, such as interdiction of boats at sea, encampment and extraterritorial asylum processing mechanisms. The contributions demonstrate how refugee protection is shaped by the intersection of different fields of law, including refugee law, human rights law, and domestic constitutional provisions. Reflecting this complexity, the collection explores decisions from the UK, Canada, USA, Kenya, Australia and Papua New Guinea, as well as regional courts including the European Court of Human Rights, Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and decisions of the United Nations Human Rights treaty bodies. Authors include leading academics and practitioners in refugee and human rights law from a range of jurisdictions. This book offers compelling insights for anyone with an interest in international refugee protection, human rights, and the development of international refugee law.

International Jurisprudence on the Rights of Refugees

Landmark Cases in International Refugee Protection

From 1974 to 2003, New Orleans had one man serve as its district attorney: Harry Connick Sr. That same time span marked a period of sharply rising incarceration rates and changing opinions about law and order, both locally and nationally. Louisiana in particular eventually gained the reputation of being the country's most incarcerated state; New Orleans, as its biggest city, bore much of the responsibility for earning it that designation. Connick was known for his tough-on-crime approach to prosecution, forcefully employing old and new legal strategies to send droves of defendants to jail and prison, often for as long as possible. 	 	 	Connick was popular enough with voters to be re-elected four times, a long tenure that is particularly notable given the increase in Black political presence and power in New Orleans during that time. His multiple re-elections were evidence that enough of the city's Black voters supported his policies to keep him as DA, even when he faced spirited opposition from Black candidates who tried to show constituents how Connick had failed them. However, by the time of his retirement in 2003, Connick's reputation had begun to suffer as revelations of shocking prosecutorial misconduct in his office emerged. Over the past twenty years, those revelations have only increased in number and scope. Connick, now deceased, has left a fractured legacy whose reverberations continue to be felt in New Orleans. 	 	 	Susan Penman's Uncertain Justice shows what Connick's office was like during the decades he was in power: how it was situated politically, what steps it took to curb crime at a time when so many New Orleanians were concerned about violence, and what locals perceived about how it functioned—and in turn how they either supported or questioned Connick's policies. Penman demonstrates the vast influence a district attorney possesses and how that influence manifests locally through legislation, office practices, and political sway. Uncertain Justice sits at the nexus of carceral studies and history by exploring how one man, at the helm of a very powerful office, navigated shifting political currents and exercised immense authority throughout many crucial years.

Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? II offers readers forty-four new accessible essays on the nature of constitutional democracy and constitutional crises, how the democratic recission is being experienced throughout the world, the factors that are providing challenges for constitutional democracy, and the tools being fashioned to maintain constitutional democracy, including the possibility of more global governance. This volume informs readers of the present state of constitutional democracy throughout the world and provides them with a framework for maintaining and improving constitutional governance.

The health of constitutional democracy has not improved substantially since the publication of Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? I. Widespread concern exists about the decline of constitutional democracy around the world, a phenomenon often referred to as 'democratic recession', 'democratic failure' or 'democratic backsliding.' The United States is hurtling toward competitive authoritarianism if not at that destination. The United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy confront powerful authoritarian movements. Eastern European countries struggle to maintain fragile democracies, while democratic efforts in the Global South confront the legacy of colonialism. Several "feel-good" cases remain: New Zealand and Australia continue as robust constitutional democracies; Poland and possibly Hungary are undergoing democratic "U-turns" after an authoritarian turn; constitutional reform failures have not dampened democratic momentum in Chile; and Brazil's strong democratic culture enabled resistance to and ultimately the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro.

Struggles to establish, sustain, and restore constitutional democracy have not only persisted but accelerated over the past eight years, increasingly blurring the line between "episodic turbulence" and "structural rupture." Global developments now demand not just updated examples, but a re-examination of core assumptions, about what constitutes a constitutional crisis, how rapidly constitutional-democratic systems can be reoriented, which institutions matter most under stress, and what effective repair looks like once democratic injury is normalized. Recent events underscore the need to "pause and reflect on the constitutional project," which appears to be in crisis and perhaps outdated, "incapable of leading us effectively into the planetary epoch."

Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? II

The modern field of comparative international law emerged in the last century, but it still suffers from a lack of intellectual and methodological foundations. This ambitious collection fills that gap. It examines the key concepts of comparative international law, including its historical and critical perspectives. Contributors from a wide geographical range present their diverse and thought-provoking views on international and comparative law. This is a much-needed and cutting-edge book on an undervalued yet topical field of research.

Foundations and Critique

Comparative International Law

This book radically reforms the classical paradigm of international law. It proposes a novel theoretical framework of the 'separation of powers in a globalised democratic society', where both actors and norms are pluralised beyond a unitary and monolithic 'state' and international law as norms of, by, and for 'states'. The book applies this framework to holistically examine the interactions between human rights treaty organs - the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the UN Human Rights Committee - and state organs, including parliaments, courts, administrative organs, and national human rights institutions. The book provides an innovative, original contribution to both the theory and practice of international human rights law.

Róisín Á Costello provides a critical analysis of the ways in which law is portrayed in Irish literature and argues that authors from Ireland (writing in both Irish and English) have consistently used literature as a mechanism to challenge and critique institutional power. In doing so, she argues that Irish literature, and the narratives it has created about law, have been used to re-assert and recomplicate Irish identities at sites of conflict and to interrogate the legitimacy of power and how it is exercised. Drawing on a range of texts including novels, poetry, plays, song and satire, Costello illustrates that Irish literature has acted as a decolonial and intersectional force in critiquing the institution of law and constructing national, linguistic and political identities in Ireland. She traces a pattern in which Irish authors consistently used literature as a lens for legal analysis in Ireland, using their work to address fundamental concerns about the legitimacy of law, the role of doubt in legal proceedings, the need for popular accountability, and the marginalisation of minority groups an identities by formal institutions and system.
