The Law of Refugee Status

Abstract: The first edition of The Law of Refugee Status (published in 1991) is generally regarded as the seminal text on interpreting the refugee definition set by the UN's 1951 Refugee Convention. Its groundbreaking analysis served as the bedrock for not only much judicial reasoning, but also for a burgeoning academic literature in law and related fields.

“…However, a problem is that in refugee law, the standard of proof is not clearly defined.

Hathaway (1991) define persecución como un incumplimiento sistemático o reiterado por parte del estado en relación con uno de los derechos fundamentales. Con base en esta definición, su modelo consiste en cuatro categorías que explicarían en qué circunstancias existe persecución.…”

“…Con base en esta definición, su modelo consiste en cuatro categorías que explicarían en qué circunstancias existe persecución. en la primera categoría están los derechos recogidos en la DuDH y que también se encuentran en el ICCPR (Hathaway, 1991). esta lista de derechos incluye el derecho a la vida; prohibición de tortura o cualquier castigo humillante e inhumano; prohibición de esclavitud, irretroactividad de la ley penal; libertad de pensamiento, conciencia y religión; y prohibición de ser encarcelado por deudas.…”
