This is true of both the United Nations treaty body system and the African, European and Inter-American regional systems of of human rights. The result is a dynamic international invigoration of traditional refugee law that, in contradistinction, tends to be applied at the level of national courts and tribunals. Yet the precise role of human rights in the protection of refugees is sometimes viewed with suspicion and uncertainty. This Commentary provides a valuable insight into the use of human rights in the protection of refugees through the prism of the African Human Rights System.Refugees and Human Rights12.Human rightsAfricaCivil rightsAfricaHuman rightsCivil rights342.608/3Beyani Chaloka542720MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819838403321Protection of the right to seek and obtain asylum under the African human rights system3992314UNINA
