Motz: The Refugee Status of Persons with Disabilities

Stephanie Anna Motz
has published The Refugee Status of Persons with Disabilities (Brill | Nijhoff 2021). Here's the abstract:
Persons with disabilities often face persecution. How does the 1951 Refugee Convention apply to them? In this first comprehensive study on the refugee definition for persons with disabilities, Stephanie Motz proposes a disability-specific approach to refugee status. The book provides a critical analysis of case law on refugee status determination focusing on four selected jurisdictions. Each chapter examines a different element of the refugee definition in light of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as well as international refugee law standards.
