“…It institutionalized policies that were seen by legal scholars and refugee advocates alike as breaking new ground in dealing with asylum, particularly in developing new concepts that could deter applicants or expedite their removal from the territories of signatory states. Particularly troublesome were the prospects for chain deportations which seemed to fly in the face of the nonrefoulement rulẽ Meijers, 1990!.…”

During the last decade, the European Union intensified its efforts to define its external borders in conjunction with its efforts to evolve into a coherent, frontier-free political territory. European policy-makers slowly shaped new norms and rules pertaining to asylum, with increasingly stronger mechanisms to enforce the policy decisions. In the case of asylum and refugee protection, Europe's efforts are nested in the broad global institutional framework negotiated through and carried out by international organizations. However, these developments raise the specter of deteriorating refugee protection in Europe and beyond. This article reviews the norms and rules on which the post-World War II refugee protection regime rests and then points to the recent developments in refugee protection in Europe, which might undermine the goals of the global refugee protection.

Because distances between Canada and Asia, Africa, and the Middle East are substantial, and because there are few nonstop transportation linkages between Canada and these regions, the motivation of claimants from these areas to seek asylum in Canada must derive from something other than simple convenience.…”

Canadian policy on the protection of refugees has evolved through three distinct traditions. During the first era, refugee protection was constructed as a matter of immigration control. Indeed, until the middle of the twentieth century, Canada had no law or policy specifically oriented to the admission of refugees. Refugees simply applied for permission to enter Canada under the auspices of the general immigration scheme, the primary purpose of which was to promote domestic economic interests. The erosion of this historical view of refugees as immigrants has occurred only gradually, such that even today most refugees protected by Canada must meet immigration selection criteria, in addition to showing that they are at risk in their home country.
