The Icelandic Human Rights Centre issues a manual on the rights of refugees

10.10.2008

The Icelandic Human Rights Centre, the Icelandic Red Cross and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees have issues a Manual on the Rights of Refugees: Treatment and Requirements according to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol on the Rights of Refugees. In this manual the term “refugee” is defined as well as the status of refugees. The manual is fundamental with regards to the interpretation of the United Nations’ Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the purpose is to guide authorities and professionals on the treatment and requirements when defining the rights of refugees. Hopefully, it will arouse interest and be useful to everyone who deals with refugee issues, for example public officials, scholars, lawyers and others. The manual can be purchased at the Icelandic Human Rights Centre, Hafnarstræti 20, 101 Reykjavík. It can also be ordered via e-mail: icehr@humanrights.is
