Subsidiary Protection of Refugees in the EU

THE STUDYSubsidiary

Following the coverage of the regularisation of illegal aliens, the Academic Network for legal studies on immigration and asylum in Europe has undertaken a second study of comparative law on so called “subsidiary” protection of persons not falling within the scope of the Geneva Convention on Refugees but nevertheless in need of international protection. The subject is of importance in view of the fact that three out of four asylum applicants in the European Commission are protected by subsidiary statuses of protection. The subject is also topical as the European Commission adopted, on 12th September 2001, a proposal for directive defining minimum standads destined to protect these persons who are still sometimes considered as de facto refugees and the protection of which varies according to the humanitarian policies of each Member State.

This work closes a gap as Member State practices are still to a large extend unknown and have not been subject to any thorough study. It consists of fifteen national reports analysing the situation in each Member State of the European Union, of a comparative synthesis report as well of a presentation of the principles of international law governing the subject matter. The book has the aim to offer a global vision of the problems in order to allow the reader to estimate whether the future harmonisation on community level will constitute progress or setback of the right of asylum in Europe.
