The regime is addressed in two parts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart One analyses the relevant treaties: the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, the 1969 Organization of African Unity Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa and the 1981 African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. The latter two regional\u003cbr\u003einstruments are examined in depth. This includes the first fulsome account of the African Refugee Convention's drafting, an interpretation of its unique refugee definition and original analysis of the relationships between the three treaties. Significant attention is devoted to the systemic\u003cbr\u003erelationship between the international and the regional refugee treaties and to the discrete relationships of conflict and complementary relationships between the two refugee instruments, as well as to the relationships between the African Refugee Convention and African Charter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart Two focuses on the institutional architecture supporting the treaty framework. The Organization of African Unity is addressed in a historical sense, and the contemporary roles of the African Union, the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and the current and contemplated African\u003cbr\u003ehuman rights courts are examined. This book is the first devoted to the legal framework for refugee protection in Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marina Sharpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198826222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198826224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Marina Sharpe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001088327935,"sku":"9780198826224","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00266b3a-c788-401d-8b58-a4011307eaa6.jpg?v=1751600030","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/regional-law-of-refugee-protection-marina-sharpe-9780198826224","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
