Brief description:
The thesis addresses the legal protection and status of environmentally-displaced persons, from a European perspective. The aim of the research was to understand whether persons who, being outside their country of origin, are unable or unwilling to return due to the severe degradation of their living environment in that country could or, in the negative, should receive international protection in Europe. To this end, the author considered the different branches of the concept of international protection. She analysed refugee law – in particular, the 1951 Refugee Convention, the European Union Qualification Directive and asylum law and practice in EU Member States – but also relevant norms of international human rights law as well as elements of international humanitarian law.Methodology:
