A large number of asylum seekers applying for protection in Europe and other industrialized states originate from countries where the state structure is weak, if not non-existent, and where the threats faced by individuals stem primarily from actors other than the state authorities. The legal framework for international protection, which rests on a state-centric paradigm, is struggling with claims for protection arising from such situations. Drawing extensively on international and European law, international and national case law, as well as academic writings, this study analyzes the legal obligations that states have towards refugees and other forced migrants facing threats emanating from non-state actors, exploring the transformative possibilities embedded in the law in this respect.RefugeesLegal status, laws, etcEuropeAsylum, Right ofEuropeForced migrationEuropeNon-state actors (International relations)EuropeHuman rightsEuropeRefugeesLegal status, laws, etc.Asylum, Right ofForced migrationNon-state actors (International relations)Human rights342.408/3Nykänen Eeva1544287MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790255803321Fragmented state power and forced migration3798391UNINA
