Collapse of Non-Refoulement: The Systemic Erosion of Protection
An expert report analyzing the widening gap between the formal legal strength of the non-refoulement principle and its actual depletion in modern migration and extradition regimes. The study examines procedural filters, externalization of border control, and “safe third country” concepts as tools used to circumvent binding human rights obligations. It provides a strategic framework for legal defense, focusing on how to maintain the practical effectiveness of protection against return to risk of torture or persecution.
