This article starts with a review of asylum from a historical perspective and territorial asylum as an institution of international law. The author then looks at asylum as a matter of concern to the international community beginning at the end of World War 1, and the legal nature of asylum. More specifically, Mr Weis focuses on the principle of non-refoulement and the principle of the non-extradition of political offenders.

Increasingly, European and other Western states have sought to control the movement of refugees outside their borders. To do this, states have adopted a variety of measures - including carrier sanctions, interception of migrants at sea, posting of immigration officers in foreign countries and external processing of asylum-seekers. This book focuses on the legal implications of external mechanisms of migration control for the protection of refugees and irregular migrants. The book explores how refugee and human rights law has responded to the new measures adopted by states, and how states have sought cooperation with other actors in the context of migration control. The book defends the thesis that when European states attempt to control the movement of migrants outside their territories, they remain responsible under international law for protecting the rights of refugees as well as their general human rights. It also identifies how EU law governs and constrains the various types of pre-border migration enforcement employed by EU Member States, and examines how unfolding practices of external migration control conform with international law. This is a work which will be essential reading for scholars and practitioners of asylum and refugee law throughout Europe and the wider world. The book received 'The Max van der Stoel Human Rights Award 2011' (first prize category dissertations); and the 'Erasmianum Study Prize 2011'.

Dramatic scenes of exodus are played out every day on European soil: refugees stream out of Albania, there are displaced populations in the Caucasus & in the former Yugoslavia. Central & eastern Europe, once a land of emigration, has now become a region of both transit & refugee settlement. Guy S. Goodwin-Gill, a specialist in refugee law, appeals for a more effective application of existing international laws & instruments on refugees. Together with the Council of Europe, Mr Goodwin-Gill asks that European countries share the "refugee burden" more equitably, thus assuring decent living conditions for people fleeing from war, persecution & poverty.
