The UNHCR and world politics : a perilous path

Author:	Gil Loescher
Publisher:	Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2001.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"Gil Loescher, one of the world's leading experts on refugee affairs, draws upon decades of personal experience and research to examine the origins and evolution of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as well as to identify many of the major challenges facing the organization in the years ahead. A key focus is to examine the extent to which the evolution of the UNHCR has been framed by the crucial events of international politics during the past half century and how, in turn, the actions of the eight past High Commissioners have helped shape the course of world history." "The book argues that the UNHCR has overstretched itself in recent decades and has strayed from its central human rights protection role. The protection of refugees remains a litmus test of the international community's commitment of defend human rights and to uphold liberal democratic values. Loescher offers a series of policy recommendations aimed at making the agency a more effective and accountable advocate for the millions of refugees in the world today."--Jacket.  Read more...
